Greetings Charger Families -
We hope you all have had a nice week and are continuing to do well and stay healthy. This next week is Spirit Week at Parkrose Middle School and we encourage our students to join in on the fun. More information on each day is below. Please send pictures/videos of yourself on each theme day to Ms. O'Leary at kristin_oleary@parkrose.k12.or.us. We will select 2 winners per grade level for each day and send those students a prize in the mail. Go Chargers!!
In case you missed the video from our staff, Parkrose Middle School staff wanted to send our thoughts and encouragement to all of our students during this challenging time. We miss you, we are thinking of you and we will get through this together. Thank you to Mr. Higgins for all of his work to create this video. https://youtu.be/87d7USE7x4c
As a staff our priority will continue to be to support our students' social and emotional needs and to ensure that the basic needs of our families are met during this worldwide health crisis. Teachers are providing students with lessons and activities each week. Each of our content classes has been assigned to a different day of the week in order to help students manage and complete the work.
Please see below for some updates from Parkrose Middle School.

We are recruiting students for our AVID elective class next year. We are looking for current 6th and 7th grade students who would like to apply for AVID. Please go to this website to find out more information about AVID at Parkrose Middle School and to have your child apply for AVID next year. If you have requested paper packets of work from your child’s teachers during this time then we will be mailing home an application to you in the mail with a pre-stamped/addressed envelope for you to return the application. All applications must be completed by May 1st and then one of our AVID site team members will be in touch with your child regarding a time for an interview by phone. If you are a current AVID student you do not need to re-apply. Your teachers will be reaching out to you to make sure you are committed for next year.
