                Visits 
                  and Inquiries
 
                 
                The most frequently asked question 
                  about our new school is: Where are you located? We are as eager 
                  as the parents of Portland to know the answer to this question. 
                  As we continue to interact with the greater Portland community, 
                  the location will be determined by the availability of space. 
                  A safe and friendly location for children will be the most important 
                  criteria for where we locate the school. 
                At present, our intention is 
                  to locate in SE Portland so that we can serve the diversity 
                  of families in that area where there are not currently many 
                  alternatives for elementary schools.  
                 For any other kinds of inquiries 
                  about our school, please call Robin at 503-252-1946. 
                For Prospective Students and 
                  Their Parents 
                Fundamental to all students 
                  coming to The Holistic Education Elementary School is their 
                  wish to do so. We do not believe that such a wish is possible 
                  if the prospective student has not had a chance to see and experience 
                  a little of the school for themselves. This is especially true 
                  for the youngest students for whom being in a different place 
                  with different people can be a daunting prospect. We therefore 
                  expect, as part of the application procedure, all students to 
                  visit the school, to meet the staff, and to see for themselves 
                  the environment in which they will learn. 
                We will also ask that the parents 
                  of prospective students meet with the principal to discuss the 
                  prospective student's current situation and needs.  
                For Prospective Staff Members 
                The Holistic Education Elementary 
                  School has already reviewed applications and prospective teachers, 
                  and found an abundance of interest and talent by Portland teachers 
                  who would like to be involved with this endeavor. As we get 
                  closer to the time of opening, we will accept applications on 
                  a rolling basis, and should any positions become available, 
                  we will keep your application on file. Interested applicants 
                  may send a cover letter and resume to:
