Dear Community Member, 

Back to school time is a natural time for everyone to embrace learning. We are pleased to 

deliver to you a catalog rich with opportunities to engage your mind and your body. Take 

advantage of this time, to register for something new or renew an old interest by taking a class 

through Community Enrichment. 

We are working to offer more academic classes geared toward adolescents and their families. 

Check out our new section entitled, “Academic, Life Skills & Special Interest.” Two elementary 

Enrichment classes are being offered immediately following the school day, as well as a 

variety of writing classes for middle school and high school age students. Area parents have 

asked for these courses, we are happy to fill the need. 

Back by popular demand are swim lessons! You will find our most popular class offerings 

again in the catalog such as yoga, dance and art. Parents of homeschoolers and preschool age 

children, as well as senior citizens will find opportunities for learning. We hope you find a 

course to enrich your life. 

We are pleased to introduce you to our new Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Mark Bielang. 

Mr. Bielang comes to Portage after more than 20 years as an instructional leader and many 

years in the classroom. He will be visiting our schools in September and will host a community 

open house this fall. Mr. Bielang plans to get to know our families, students and 

residents. Please help us to welcome him. 

Enrich your life by enrolling in a class with Portage Public Schools. 

Sincerely, 

Sarah R. Baker

Yoga and traditional exercise, linked together in 

a flowing series of poses that create strength, flexibility,

working all parts of your body equally to 

create balance that will compliment other activities 

of daily life. The class is offered in a peaceful, 

relaxed atmosphere to release stress and tension.

Becoming a Confident Learner 

Steps to Success in Middle School & Beyond

become increasingly specialized. They will begin 

to train in their primary strokes several times a 

week. They will be tested to develop paces for 

their specific level of training. This will allow

to provide a competitive training atmosphere. In 

general, there will be a distance group, a middle 

distance group, and lanes designated to specific 

strokes. (Swimmers new to PAC need to meet 

with a coach to determine placement. Previous 

swimmers that are unsure of placement,

to REGISTER IN ADVANCE! Mark 

your calendar!! Come at your registered 

time unless otherwise contacted. 

GOLD CARD HOLDERS: Receive 

a 10% reduction in charges on your 

class fees. (Applies to most classes.) 

Please call the office before registering 

to obtain the correct charges. 

for one-time programs unless request 

is received at least three business days 

in advance. You may designate a 

substitute participant if you are unable 

to attend. 

RETURN CHECKS: A $25 fee will 

be assessed for returned checks. 

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY: 

A reminder on the procedure we 

follow in the event snow forces class 

cancellation: 

1. If schools are closed during the 

day, night classes and activities are 

automatically cancelled. 

2. If an afternoon storm develops 

and it becomes necessary to cancel 

evening classes, the following is 

done: Announcements are made on 

area radio and television stations 

after 4:00 p.m. and online at 

www.portageps.org 

REFUND POLICIES: A full refund 

will be issued: if it is necessary for us 

to cancel a class/program because of 

insufficient enrollment 

If the enrolled student calls within three 

business days before the first class 

meeting, a refund will be issued, minus 

a $5 processing fee. If you cancel after 

the deadline, you will not qualify for a 

refund. If the class you are dropping 

still has the minimum enrollment 

needed to run, you may transfer your 

registration to another session or hold 

as a credit. 

No refunds or credits will be issued 

after the class/program has met a 

second time. 

No refunds or credits will be issued 

3. Please remember: Occasionally 

weather conditions at 4:00 or 4:30 

may not be ideal, but are still good 

enough to permit the holding of 

classes. However, they can suddenly 

worsen at 5:00 or 5:30, in which case 

it’s almost impossible to announce 

cancellation at that time. If that 

should happen, you must use your 

own judgment regarding attendance. 

4. If an Enrichment teacher’s policy 

varies from the school closure policy, 

he/she will share their policy on their 

first day. 

5. Every effort will be made to make up 

time lost due to cancellation.
