Our District community believes in a strong commitment to education, and that dedication is very evident in the programs and opportunities available to our children.

Our focus on the whole child means students are educated to become successful, productive citizens who are critical thinkers
and who exhibit strong moral character. Our goal is to help each child reach his or her fullest potential. We strongly believe that children learn best when educators develop meaningful partnerships with parents, encouraging and valuing input and feedback from home. We also promote connections with the wider community through our involvement with the Portage Chamber of Commerce, Portage and South Haven Public Libraries,and the City of Portage, Ogden Dunes, South Haven, and Portage Township as a whole. We believe in working together for the benefit of our children and families.

Our Portage High School students enrolled in the Management Fundamentals classes have been gaining applicable, hand-on experience during their unit on contract negotiating!
The students recently participated in a contract negotiation simulation between a union and management. One half of the class worked with their teacher, Mr. Bernacki, to represent management, and the other half of the class worked with PHS media clerk Rebecca Belt, who also serves as the president of her union. The groups spent several days caucusing and engaging in rounds of collective bargaining. Not only were the two groups able to come to a contract agreement in the simulation, but both offers were very similar.
This was a great exercise in developing management and communication skills!
It's been pretty cloudy the past couple of days, but that served as inspiration for our Kyle Elementary Science Club students! They recently learned about clouds and participated in a cool experiment in which they were able to create clouds of their own.

Mrs. Zelisko's 5th grade class at Aylesworth Elementary School read about the history of the Eiffle Tower on Valentine's Day, and then they took a hand at designing their own Eiffle Tower out of newspaper and tape!
