P-3 SCHOOLS

P-3 Schools is part of the SUN Service System. The P-3 coordinators located in 3 Portland Public Schools align early learning and K-3 around a core focus on family leadership that is parent-centered and provides opportunities for parents to use the skills they have as leaders and experts in their own lives and communities. P-3s foster collaboration with early learning partners and projects and build support in the school and community for the school as a hub for early learning. 

The P-3 coordinators serve families with young children, prenatal-3rd grade with a particular focus on:

  • Families of color

  • Families with children who do not have access to preschool

  • Families who speak languages other than English

  • Families with children receiving early childhood special education services
