Lincoln High School during the last two snow days.

Portland Public Schools will be discussing whether there will be any snow day make-ups tacked on to the end of the school year. Every March PPS spends time to make a decision about whether and how the missing days will be made up. A decision will be announced at the end of the month.

The school calendar for next year will also be determined by PPS this month. Things such as the teachers’ contract will influence the number of school days next year.

Each of the three snow days built into the schedule has been used, but days could still be added if PPS finds it necessary. PPS will be sharing information on the district’s website once a decision has been made.
