Principal's Message

Welcome Portola Panther Families!

Dear Portola Families and Students,

As we wrap up summer, I wanted to inform you of some very slight schedule changes for next year.  There have been only a few changes to the school day schedule. Most changes are occurring with recess and lunch times during the school day.  The biggest change will be with our TK and Kindergarten schedules.  They will release at 12:15 every day for the entire year.  Here is  copy of the entrance and dismissal schedules in a format that you can print for your refrigerator.  There are a few reminders about attendance on this form too.

I will be sending our back to school newsletter shortly.  Please keep an eye out for that.  
Adventure Portola will be held on Saturday, Aug. 8, 2026, from 10-11 AM.  This event is for students that are new to Portola this year.  You will get to experience some fun and games while you learn a little bit about our campus and meet members from our FFO and staff.  Please see the flyer below. 
Kindergarten and TK orientation will be August 11 at 1:00 PM.

I can't wait to see you all for the First Day Of School, August 12, 2026.  Just a reminder the first day of school is a banking day, which is a Wednesday.  This means early dismissal.  Please see the schedule attached below for dismissal times.

Cordially,
