The High Schools require a decision about which school you plan to attend by the beginning of March, 2012. Patty Brinkman, 8th grade counselor will be speaking with each 8th grader over the next thirty days to check-in about this decision-making process. NEWS: Students may visit or shadow any high school if you feel they need to see it "in action" in order to make a decision. All high school shadows are initially set up through our counseling offices at Lyman Moore, with a form your son or daughter fills out, gets your signature and then turns it into us to give to the high schools to set up the shadow visit. You too may visit any high school and talk with administration to inquire about that particular school. The high schools all have course booklets on line which describe the course schedule and the courses required.
For high school questions, you may contact me by phone, e-mail or just stop in the school. I am happy to meet early or stay late to accommodate you if you would like to have a conversation about the high school choices. brinkp@portlandschools.org
