Connect To Boise-Eliot/Humboldt Kindergarten

Tomorrow at 9:00 AM, we will be hosting a kindergarten connect for families considering having their kindergarten students attend BEH next year. We will be meeting in the library to share information and answer questions before touring the school.

<From the Eliot News April Edition:>

Have a child and need to sign them up for school? Portland Public Schools has several
events to see the school in person. Most of the Eliot Neighborhood is in the Boise-Eliot/Humboldt (BEH) School area. More information on enrolling at BEH can be found here: https://www.pps.net/domain/6389

I am in year 5 of 10 with my thre daughters biking to BEH every day. I could not recommend it more highly. The teachers and administration are top notch. Principal Kaveh’s current enrollment goal is to recruit enough students to get at least one more class at any grade level. One way to achieving this is asking more neighbors to consider this local school. Ask to take a tour or visit on one of the scheduled connect to kindergarten dates (including tomorrow Morning at 9AM). Filling out the paperwork on the earlier side would be a great help.

Last year PPS launched the Right to Return transfer option for families that were affected by recent or generational housing displacement who still want their children to remain in N/NE Portland Schools.

The Right to Return Application is now open for the 24-25 school year. If your family or another family you know has been pushed out of the PPS boundaries and would like their children to come to BEH or another PPS Right to Return school, please share this information for them to complete the process.

Principal Kaveh’s office can be reached at kpaksere@pps.net
