  • Portland Evening & Summer Scholars Attendance Expectations

    Portland Evening Scholars is not an online program.  We have 13 classes to cover 18 weeks worth of work.  Attendance is critical and expected.  We do not have ‘excused absences’. 

     

    Absence 1: Classroom teacher contacts home.

    Absence 2: Classroom teacher contacts home.

    Absence 3: Students complete an Attendance Agreement with the site Administrator as well as communication home. 

    Absence 4: The students' participation in Evening Scholars will be considered and the Principal determines whether or not the student gets one last chance to remain enrolled.  This will be based on grade level, grade in class, engagement in class, and follow through on Attendance Agreement. 

    Absence 5: Students will be unenrolled from PESS without exceptions.  

  • Enrollment Prioritization (based on class cohort during the current school year)
