Good afternoon,
At last night's School Board Meeting, the POLSD Board voted to adopt a 5-day Instructional Week Calendar for the 2026-27 school year. This is a change from the 4-day calendar they adopted at their March meeting.
Compliance with Governor Kotek's recent Executive Order is the reason for canceling plans for a 4-day week, and returning to our traditional 5-day week calendar. Administration, and the Board, did not want to make a change to a brand new 4-day system, only to be forced to return to a 5-day week the following year. We are very sorry for the confusion in these decisions, but the Governor's unexpected Executive Order literally came a week and a half after the Board's decision.
More details will be forthcoming, and a copy of the adopted calendar will be posted on the website.
If you have any questions, please contact Superintendent Miller at the District Office.
