We had a fantastic MPA Kick Off meeting, so many parents attended and we appreciate everyone coming out to hear about all the great things happening in Portola HGM, and how they can help our program be the best that it can be! Here's the presentation for any parents who were unable to attend. 

On this day in 1979, our Magnet was born! Happy Birthday Portola Highly Gifted Magnet!

​Fingers crossed for our students who were nominated to compete in Broadcom Masters-they will find out tomorrow if they were selected to be in the top 300 Masters! 

​Eighth Grade parents: in case you were unable to attend on Wednesday, we are having two more informational meetings for our parents to learn about Portola's Culmination requirements and High School A-G requirements on Wednesday, September 5th from 8:30 to 9:30 am and 7:00-8:00pm. Our meetings will be held in the Multipurpose Room (MPR). We look forward to seeing you at one of these informative sessions!

Yes it's time to re-enroll your Ralph's Card to keep earning free money for the Magnet! If you need to sign up or re-enroll, here's the link with instructions on how to do that. If you enrolled previously, you need to enroll again as Ralphs wants people to re-enroll every year. 

Back to School Night was very informative, it was so great to meet all the teachers, and it also gave our students (and Student Council) an opportunity to be entrepreneurs by selling their Spirit Wear!
