Bronco Families,

What an amazing start to the school year! Homecoming was a blast, spirit weeks have brought creativity and school spirit to our halls and we couldn't be happier to be a part of it! As we continue into this year, we are nearing mid term grading, this is the perfect time to check in with your student about where they are in classes. Towards the end of November we will be hosting Family/Teacher Conferences, an opportunity to come visit with teachers! We are excited to see where this year takes all of our students!

It's going to be another great year Bronco Nation!

The October & November calendars are below! With November on it's way, we inch closer to mid term grades as well as conferences, see the schedule of conferences below!

Conferences are coming! This year they will be held in person! Teachers will be in regions outside of their rooms to meet with families during the following times:

Monday, November 21st - 4-8pm

Tuesday, November 22nd - 11am-7pm

Wednesday, November 23rd - 7:30-11:30am

We will once again offer the STAMP exam this year. The University of Oregon created the Avant STAMP (STAndards-based Measurement of Proficiency) language test to improve language-learning outcomes and support excellence in language programs. The exam measures student growth, qualifies students for the state or global Seal of Biliteracy, and awards Competency-Based Credits. In 2021-2022, 115 students took the STAMP exam in their preferred language. We awarded 346 credits, and 22 students qualified for the Oregon Seal of Biliteracy.

The next exam will take place on Tuesday, November 22nd. Watch for information about signing up to come out in a couple weeks.

STAMP 4S (Reading, Writing, Speaking & Listening) - 80 to 120 minutes

Bronco Families we are asking for your help! Before and after school we do our best to get car riding students out quickly and keep traffic moving. We also always want to keep the safety of our students at the forefront, to do so we have a crossing guard at the crosswalk between the MS and HS. There have been times when the crossing guard has come close to getting hit by a car while trying to provide our students a safe place to cross the street. Please help us by watching for the crossing guard if you come to pick up your student!

Parkrose hosts monthly pop can drives. The first Saturday of each month, from 9am-1pm in the Parkrose Middle School parking lot. Bring your recyclable cans and bottles to donate. Donations are collected by the Boosters and used to ensure funds are available for field trips, sporting equipment and clubs/extracurricular classes for needs that wouldn't otherwise be available.

Trunk or Treat is coming to Parkrose! On Sunday, October 30th from 3:30-6pm in the Middle School Parking Lot. Join local businesses and Parkrose families at this family-friendly Halloween Event!

Seniors will participate in a Senior Class Meeting on Friday, October 28th. During this time they will receive their ordering packets for graduation items. Graduation items (cap, gown, tassel, etc) can be ordered online or during our in person ordering day on Thursday, November 10th. Please watch for these packets and get your orders in!
