A special thank you to our woodshop friends at Portage Northern High who made this and some other future items to come to our Early Childhood Program. As you can see, our 3 year old preschool didn't even let it get moved in before they had to test it out! 3 Year Old Approved!-Mrs. French

A partial calendar for the 2025-26 school year was approved by the Board of Education Monday, July 21.

A complete 2025-26 school year calendar is not yet available due to ongoing contract negotiations with the Portage Education Association. The partial calendar covers August and September, and the District will also follow the Kalamazoo RESA Common Calendar for major school holiday breaks.

A monthly District calendar will be established and affirmed by the Board until a complete school year calendar is approved between the Board and the PEA. You can view the School Year Calendar at portageps.org/o/pps/page/school-year-calendar.
