Morning Arrival Reminders
- Mornings are a very busy place around Portland Elementary. As many have noticed if you are dropping of students in front of Portland in the morning on Portland Street, the street can get congested pretty quick. We ask that if you are exiting your car for any reason (eg. saying goodbye, coming to the office, dropping off lunch money, etc.) that you kindly turn right and park on Missouri Avenue instead of Portland Street.
- Doors open at 8:20am- No supervision is available until that time.
- Thank you for saying goodbye at the Portland doors to your students and not walking down the hallways without stopping by the office.
- Breakfast is served from 8:30am to 8:45am. Class begins at 8:50am. Any student arriving after 8:45am will have to sit in office to eat breakfast. Any student arriving after 8:50am become the responsibility of the guardian to provide breakfast. All staff will be engaged in educational activities at 8:50am.
