Fingerprint Check-in Station
Our Fingerprint
Check-in station is up and running, and our sign in system is now paper-free!
Please remember to check your student in or out at this computer station every
time you drop off or pick up. If you are having trouble with the fingerprint
scan, please refer to the instruction card beside the computer for
finger-scanning tips! If you still have trouble checking in or out, please inform a
staff member so that we can correct the issue and ensure that your student is
properly signed in and out.
October in Sprout!
Our Fall Enrichment
Classes are up and running! This month, there are two dates on the Portland Public School
- October 11: PPS is CLOSED for an Inservice Day. Please let the office know if your student will attend Sprout for the full day on October 11.
- October 16: PPS Late Opening. Please let the office know if your student will attend Sprout for the extended morning program.
Pre-Kindergarten Writing Focus
This school year, our
pre-k students are working their way through the Handwriting Without Tears
curriculum. Mrs. Gibbs & Mrs. Reena are spending their literacy time together
coaching kids through this age-appropriate handwriting curriculum to give
students a chance to develop the fine motor skills needed for writing. Our
goal is to get our pre-k students as prepared as possible for their entrance to
kindergarten next fall! If you have any questions about this curriculum, please
talk to Mrs. Gibbs or Mrs. Reena.
Preschool Portrait Mini Sessions
In the past, October has been the month to do school photos.
This year, however, we are providing families with a new and exciting option.
Rather than having a photographer come on site during our school day, we have
arranged with a local photographer to provide portrait mini-sessions to Sunshine School
