Where shall Portola residents enroll between now and the opening of the New Elementary School?
In order to assure a smooth transition, Portola residents may enroll at the existing Westwood Basics Plus School located  at 1 Liberty (near Yale and Westwood). More information is available on the Westwood Basics Plus website
Portola residents may also enroll temporarily at other schools in the district under our Open Enrollment Policy as long as seats are available.

Will a Student be permitted to continue at another school when the new school in Portola opens?
When the new school opens, the district will reserve the right to require all residents of Portola in Kindergarten through Grade 3 to transfer to Westwood Basics Plus,  if they are enrolled in an elementary school north of Interstate 5. This is necessary to make room for additional new residents in the Northern Sphere who will not yet have their own neighborhood school.

When will the New Elementary School in Portola Open?
The District has purchased a site in Portola Springs for a new K-6 elementary school. Based on the slowing residential development, staff will continue to study the timing for the new school opening in 2011 or 2012.

What grade levels will the new school serve?
The new school will serve students from K-6.

When is the new middle school expected to open?
A middle school serving grades 7-8 is expected to open in PA 40 in 2010 (subject to change based on timing of new development). The school will serve students residing north of Interstate 5 and east of Jeffrey. The school will be located near the corner of Trabuco and Jeffrey.

Will open enrollment opportunities be available for middle and high school students?
It is expected that limited open enrollment opportunities may be available at Venado Middle School. Open enrollment opportunities at the high school level, if available at all, will be at University High School. Click here for current information.
