This year’s ceremony is scheduled to be held at the Viking Pavilion at Portland State University on Thursday, June 13th. The Viking Pavilion is located at 930 SW Hall St., Portland, OR 97201.

Once a Bronco, Always a Bronco!!

Each Senior is allotted 10 graduation tickets for friends/family to attend the ceremony. Tickets are REQUIRED to enter this event. Students/families can request additional tickets by emailing Nicole Maynard at nicole_maynard@parkrose.com. Please include:

• Student's Name
• How many additional tickets you are requesting?

Please note that we make no promises that we are going to be able to grant all requests for additional tickets. We always do our best to accommodate, but please also ask other graduating friends if they have extras.

If you missed the in person order dates please visit the JOSTENS website to place your order or you can also call Jostens at 503.255.7120 to place your order! The school does not place orders so if you have questions about ordering Jostens has your answers!

Cap & Gown delivery will take place on April 16th during lunch for orders placed prior to February.

See below for some of the important dates for Seniors leading up to Graduation!

If you/your student would like a custom photo in the yearbook, they must be submitted by April 16th. They can be emailed to aileen_gomez@parkrose.k12.or.us. In order to be approved photos must be of a single student, must have a limited background (not busy) and be a clear/bright image (dark photos don't print well). If you have questions please email Aileen Gomez at the email above.

This year's Senior All Night Party will be at Bullwinkle's on the night of June 7th, the last day of school for seniors. The cost is $15 per senior, which includes all food, activities and transportation. In order to participate you must submit a permission slip and payment. If you have any questions, please email parkrosesanp@gmail.com.

We recognize that both you and your Senior have worked very hard these past years to get to this point. However, there are some potential pitfalls that can still keep Seniors from reaching their final goal, we want you to be aware of:

ATTENDANCE:

"Senioritis" is real, encourage your student to hang in there! Maintaining attendance clear to the end can be difficult for some senior students, especially as they near the end. However, attendance is the number one key to graduation, please help us help your student reach their end goal by encouraging strong attendance all the way up to the end. If you are concerned about your student's attendance please reach out to the attendance office by calling 503.408.2600 or speak with your student's counselor!

CREDITS:

Please be sure to review your student's grades and reach out if you have questions about whether or not your senior is on track for graduation. Our counselors are happy to speak with you and work with your senior!

BEHAVIOR:

For some unknown reason, there are times where seniors don't see that school rules still apply to them until they graduate. Nothing is further from reality! We never want to have to disclude a senior from participating in graduation or the activities that lead up to it, we hope that all of our Broncos can continue to follow all school regulations.
