From 6:30-8 p.m. on Wednesday January 12, 19, 26 and February 2, Jefferson High School leaders will offer information on the school’s new Middle College program. Jefferson High School – Middle College for Advanced Studies will launch next fall.
Open to high school students across the district, with guaranteed access to neighborhood students, the Middle College program partners with Portland Community College to offer students access to college credit while attending high school. The Jefferson attendance boundary will be split between Grant and Roosevelt High Schools for those who opt to attend a comprehensive high school. King Neighborhood schools will feed to Grant.
It’s never too early to start planning for the little ones’ enrollment in kindergarten and pre-kindergarten. Portland Public Schools’ schedule of Kindergarten Round-Up events has been released. At these events, you can meet principals, teachers and school staff, learn how to prepare for kindergarten, and register your student for school. For information about fun readiness activities, go to www.pps.k12.or.us, then click on “Departments” and “Kindergarten.” If you aren’t able to attend a Round-Up event, you can visit your neighborhood school and register before buildings close in late June. Dates and times are subject to change.
