Portlock Primary -

Good afternoon once again Portlock. Thank you for your patience during our dismissal this afternoon. All buses have left campus at this time. Students on routes 202 and 247 will be later than normal dropping due to doubling up.

Tonight is our Literacy /STEAM night at Carver Intermediate! If you RSVPed for dinner in advance, it will be served starting at 5:30. All other events begin at 6:00. Can't wait to see everyone!

Today is the final day of our Read-a-thon fundraiser. Don't forget to log those minutes! Also, readers need to make sure to spend their RAT Bucks in the prize store. Any RAT Bucks not spent within 10 days after our Read-A-Thon ends will no longer be available. The prize store cannot be reopened once it is closed. All prizes will be shipped to the school. https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/DKupnM

Portlock: We are continuing to celebrate Reading Month with our word parade on Thursday. Choose a word to wear for the day and dress the part if you want.

Our school is currently reading more than ever during our Read-A-Thon. We want to make this the most successful Read-A-Thon, but can't do it without your support. You can help us be successful by sharing your student's reading donation page and message with friends and family on Facebook. By using the link below to share, you can celebrate your child's achievements and support our school: https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/tool/DKupnM/3 Thank you, Portlock Primary
