Facilities

Portage Public Schools is fortunate to have exceptional facilities for student and community learning.  In order to efficiently schedule building usage, organizations must contact their school building or Marti Phelps at 323-6759.

Marti can also be reached at mphelps@portageps.org.

Did you know that:
• So far in 2012-13, 200 outside groups scheduled meetings, classes or events in Portage Public Schools.
• We expect to schedule 38,775 events, most outside of the school day, in Portage Public Schools this school year.
• Many groups such as Boy/Girl Scouts only pay a $15 annual fee to use our facilities.
• Community Education Enrichment classes are sponsored by Portage Public Schools. These programs benefit adults and kids and a significant senior citizen population.
• Groups such as Bantam basketball or Kalamazoo Jr. Symphony Orchestra, who don’t have a facility of their own, are a non-profit and work to benefit kids are charged a very low rate to use our gyms & school spaces.
• Classrooms cannot be reserved by any group until after 6 pm. This preserves space for teachers for after-school planning, correcting papers, parent meetings, etc.
