The Mandarin immersion program that was once at Harrison Park Elementary has moved to Clark Elementary.
Harrison Park is now a middle school and hosts the Mandarin immersion students who have completed the programs at Clark Elementary and Woodstock Elementary.
Hosford Middle School, which formerly took MI students from Woodstock no longer does as those students now go to Harrison Park Middle School.
Jefferson High School added classes for students coming from Portland’s Mandarin immersion schools.
