Enrollment

Thank you for your interest in Portland Public Schools. We look forward to meeting prospective new students and families in our District. In this section, you will find several helpful links and forms to get your child's educational journey started at PPS. We also have resources available for our returning students. 

Portland Public Schools is excited to announce our transition from Skyward to PowerSchool as our new Student Information System (SIS). This change will provide families with an improved experience for student enrollment, communication, attendance, grades, schedules, and other important school information.

As we prepare for the transition, all new student enrollments will be completed through PowerSchool. Parents and guardians with students who are new to Portland Public Schools should complete the New Student Enrollment Form below to begin the enrollment process.

We appreciate your patience and support as we make this exciting transition. Our goal is to provide families with a more streamlined, user-friendly experience and improved access to student information throughout the school year.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with our Central Admin office.

New Students

Enrolling in school often means a lot of paperwork and information sharing, and hopefully, this page helps to ensure a smooth process of dotting i's and crossing T's.

Current Students

The beginning of each school year usually brings about a lot of homework for parents and guardians, from updating emergency contacts to getting sports physicals.

Little Raiders Preschool

Portland Public Schools Little Raiders Preschool where a strong foundation for learning begins

At Little Little Raiders Preschool, we believe that children learn by doing, getting messy, investigating answers to their questions, playing games, using their imaginations, expressing their emotions, creating, and exploring the world around them.
