A Message from our Principal!
As we head in to November let me say that I am so grateful for all of you! This month be on the lookout for PEP Night for our English Learners at Portlock Primary on November 8 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Family Fun and Fitness night, November 16 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. We look forward to spending time with all of you as we exercise our bodies and minds.
Cold and flu season is upon us, please remember to keep your student home when they are sick until at least 24 hours after they no longer have a fever or symptoms without the use of fever-reducing medicine.
While we understand students will be absent for illness, attendance matters. Send in absent and doctor notes within 4 school days for the absence to be excused. Reach out if you have any concerns or questions.
I hope everyone continues to be well as we move into the holiday season.
Mrs. Canterbury, Principal

Online Student Verification
At the beginning of every school year, all families must complete the student online verification process. The verification process allows our families to confirm or update information for all children in a household at one time. Families will also have the opportunity to review and update their contact information to ensure continued access to important information and communications from their student’s school and the district. Families must log on to their ParentVUE account to complete this process. In the ParentVue app, parents should select “Open Online Registration (OLR)” and select “2023-2024 Verification.”
To complete the process, please log on to your ParentVUE account. The verification process can be completed in a web browser or in the ParentVUE mobile app. It is important to note that the online verification process is open and available all year to provide families the opportunity to update their information to ensure that the most current contact information is provided.
Visit this page to learn more about ParentVUE in our district. If you have not activated your ParentVUE account or have lost access, please contact us at 757-494-7505.
