Portland Public Schools will dismiss all students two hours early on Friday due to high temperatures , district officials announced Thursday afternoon.

Temperatures are forecast to hit 85 degrees by 3 p.m. on Friday, lower than the temperatures in the low 90s on Tuesday, the first day of school for many students, and a degree or two less than the high temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday. The district did not announce an early release on any of those days.
