I am in Portland Tx, when is the first day of school for the Headstart program?

Question

I can't find the info anywhere and no one is answering phones. When is the first day of school for Headstart here? Portland, Tx

Answer 1

I work for the Head Start also. We start two of our classes August 6 the other two start half classes on the 8 and 9th. The reason you aren't getting an answer is because they are probably closed for the summer. If your child was approved then you will get a letter in the mail and you will then have to come to screening before your child starts. They will let you know something in the mail.

Answer 2

there's a portland TX?  wow.. no kidding... contact your local DHHS and they should be able to tell you.

Answer 3

I'm in PA and our kids don't start til into September.  Teachers go back to work the end of August.  I would try calling, maybe once a week, until you get an answer.  If you know the phone number for their administrative office, you could try calling there instead of calling the center.

Answer 4

Hi Portland...I am in Corpus Christi.  I think it starts around August 27th, but the teachers and staff should be in about a week before hand.  It usually starts the same day that the local public school starts.  You may be able to contact the school, or just try calling Head Start on the second week in August.
