Worthington Parent Portal Changes

Starting Jan 3, 2025, the old www.worthington-portal.org site will no longer be accessible. The vendor who owns and supports the system our portal site is built on is no longer supporting it.

The items from the old portal are now available from your Infinite Campus portal in the “More” section in “Parent Access Links”. Here is a guide to help you navigate this change: Parent Access Link.

We also recommend updating any browser bookmarks you may have.

Kindergarten Registration Opens January 6th, 2025!

We are thrilled to announce that kindergarten registration for the 2025-26 school year will open on January 6th, 2025. Visit our kindergarten Welcome Center website for information about the registration process and requirements.

We are excited to announce that starting in the 2025-26 school year, Worthington Schools will be offering universal, no-cost all-day kindergarten for all students. This program will provide a strong foundation for learning and allow us to better meet the needs of every child in our community.

For more details about Worthington's All-Day Kindergarten, you can read Superintendent Dr. Bowers blog or watch a presentation about kindergarten from a recent board meeting.

We can’t wait to welcome our newest learners to our schools!

Here are some ways to have fun with your family during winter break:

• Get active: Try skiing, snowboarding, or ice skating. Our Family takes flashlight walks to look at lights in our neighborhood!

• Be creative: Write a story, make crafts, or build a blanket fort.

• Play games: Have a board game day or teach someone to play chess or checkers. We have been playing the Game of Life, and scrabble at our house.

• Eat home-cooked food: Bake treats or enjoy a home-cooked meal.

• Spend time together: Catch up on sleep, decompress, and spend quality time with your family.

• Make an obstacle course: Create a fun obstacle course in your living room with forts, tunnels, and climbing.

• Celebrate holidays: Take advantage of the extra time to celebrate the holidays and traditions of many cultures.
