Please join us in welcoming our new Assistant Principal, Dylan Patterson to Portage Northern!!! Mr. Patterson will be on the 3rd floor in the Office of Academic Affairs.
Mr. Patterson has a 4 year old daughter and two dogs. He does a lot of home improvement projects when not working or hanging out with his daughter. Mr. Patterson also plays adult softball and basketball and loves to spend the fall watching football on both Saturdays and Sundays.

Reminder, you can find back-to-school information at https://www.portageps.org/page/back-to-school-at-pps.
We're thrilled to announce the new website and app for PPS! The new website is more mobile friendly and can also be translated into your chosen language.
Most families use their phones as a primary means of communication, so we've created an app that is custom-built and a more mobile-friendly website.
The app gives families a quick way to access news and announcements, events, the staff directory, alerts, dining and more! The app can also be customized to your chosen language.
Be sure to sign up for notifications to receive alerts for snow days or emergencies directly to your phone!
It's everything PPS, in your pocket.
