Portland Public Schools will be closed March 25 – 29 for Spring Break. Please contact the office if you are planning to have your elementary student attend for full days during this week.

For Infants, Wobblers, and Preschoolers, please look for Spring Break Attendance sheets in the front hall so that you can let us know whether your child will be at Sunshine School over Spring Break.
