Community Partnerships
To enrich the educational experience of our students, we are in the process of engaging a selection of carefully vetted community partners.
These partners will be available to provide wrap-around services for elementary families such as before- and after-care or provide a safe, supervised care space during remote days in a hybrid scenario:
A pilot program will be conducted from September 14 through October 14.
Partnerships prioritize elementary school age children and children of PPS staff members.
Partnerships are designed to inspire a range of passion-driven pursuits by tapping into Portland’s rich pool of non-pro t organizations dedicated to advancing the arts, sciences and humanities.
Each local community partner will collaborate with PPS to deliver a range of dynamic learning experiences.
Partnerships will be organized geographically and students will be kept in their designated learning cohorts to the extent possible.
General health and safety protocols will be clearly communicated and adhered to at all times.
A preliminary selection of potential partners include:
Portland Parks & Recreation
Learning Works
Rippleffect
Telling Room
Boys and Girls Club
Portland Squash
YMCA
Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine
