Necessary Forms
In order to ensure that students and parent/guardians understand the unique program that the Portland Village School offers and are supportive of our educational philosophy and learning environment, applicants are required to complete and provide the following forms:
Portland Village School 2012-2013 Enrollment Application and Statement of Understanding
Two proofs of residency (utility bill, bank statement, etc.)
Proof of birthdate (original birth certificate or passport)
Hard copies of the Application and Statement of Understanding are also available by visiting our school. Once you have completed and mailed the necessary forms listed above and read the Statement of Understanding, you have applied to enroll your child(ren) at the Portland Village School.
Lottery
Priority enrollment is given only to siblings of currently enrolled students. If we receive more applications during our first phase of enrollment than we have spaces available in any given grade, state law requires us to conduct a lottery to determine admission.
Students who reside out of the PPS school district will be placed on the waiting list after all in-district applicants have been placed in the lottery.
Waiting List
The lottery process determines the initial order of placement of the waiting list. Students applying after March 23, 2012, will be added to the waiting list in the order by which applications are received. We will maintain our waiting list throughout the school year, offering enrollment as spaces become available. The waiting list does not carry over to the next school year; if a space is not offered, an applicant must re-apply for the next school year.
For additional information, please read our Frequently Asked Questions or contact the Front Office.
