    All around Portland students will walk, bike, and roll as often as possible to and from school in May.
    If you have to drive, consider parking three blocks away and walking in -- that's enough to provide a morning brain boost!

    * THIS SATURDAY MAY 5TH 10:30am-12:30pm BIKE RODEO with games, bike repairs, and prizes (on the blacktop at school)
    * WEDNESDAY MAY 9TH 7:30am BIKE TRAIN/WALKING SCHOOL BUS/PARADE from the Advantis Credit Union parking lot (Woodstock & 43rd)
    * FRIDAY MAY 11TH a visit from the BIKE FAIRY. Bike this day if you can!
    * EVERY FRIDAY 7:40-7:55am WELCOME STATION for all walking, biking, and rolling students (at the bike rack)

    Students are encouraged to mark the tally sheet outside their classroom and record their mode of travel each morning.

    VOLUNTEER! Sign up to help at one of the events:

  • 2017/18 School Year

    6/28/2017

    The first day of school for the 2017/18 School Year is Wednesday, August 30, 2017 for 1st - 5th Grade students. Kindergartners will start on Tuesday September 5th.

     The student’s school day will be from 8:00 AM to 2:15 PM. You can find information about arrival and dismissal procedures, along with a map of the building (which will be updated in August) on our website under Arrival and Dismissal Procedures. Please note that we will only release your child to someone on their registration form, unless we have written notice indicating otherwise.

    Notice of School Hours Change for Next Year 2017-18

    PPS will be changing school start and end times at a number of schools, including Woodstock. As of the start of school in fall 2017, we will start at 8:00 and release at 2:15 p.m. This minor adjustment is part of a district-wide alignment of schedules. Please take note of this change.

    The schedule alignment allows for more efficient bus transportation, makes it easier to schedule substitute and itinerant teachers, provides more consistency in instructional time and allows for better use of teachers’ professional development time.
    If you have questions about the change, please contact Antonio Lopez, alopez@pps.net, 503-916-3440.

    • First Day of School (and new school hours) - The first day of school for 1st-5th grade students is August 30.  As noted below, the new school hours are from 8:00 AM to 2:15 PM...be prepared!
