As summer winds down, the Portage la Prairie School Division is preparing to welcome students back for the 2025–2026 school year with an important kickoff event in early September.
On September 3, families are invited to 'Meet the Teacher' events across all the schools in the division. This afternoon gathering offers a relaxed opportunity for students and parents to meet educators and tour their new classrooms.
The following morning, September 4, marks the first official day of school, welcoming students back for the start of the fall term.
To support students and parents as they prepare for the new year, the division has made back‑to‑school supply lists readily available. Families can find these lists from the Portage la Prairie School Division’s official website or find them posted on the division’s Facebook page, ensuring easy access to all necessary items before the first bell rings.
Important Transportation Information:
If you are new to the Portage la Prairie School Division or if your child will be riding the school bus for the first time, the Portage la Prairie School Division is asking that you contact the Transportation Department to confirm eligibility and sign up for busing.
With these resources, coupled with the Meet the Teacher event and a clear start date, the division aims to create a smooth, well-organized transition back into learning. Watch your inbox and social media for any updates.
As Portage la Prairie schools prepare to swing open their doors, families and educators alike are set for a warm, exciting, and smooth start to the 2025‑2026 school year.
