Dear Parents/Guardians & Seniors,
We are quickly approaching the mid point of this school year. Please read through this newsletter to ensure that you have all the information needed to help your senior get through this final push successfully. Included in this newsletter is a form for you to communicate how you would like your student’s name to appear on their diploma. It must be returned by Wednesday, January 10, 2024, signed by both the senior and a parent/guardian. If you do not complete and return this form, we will order your student's diploma based on the name we have in Synergy and changes are at a cost to you.
Each graduate will be allotted a predetermined amount of tickets for the ceremony. In our March Senior Edition newsletter there will be a chance to request additional tickets based on how many additional seats we may have available. This request will be a first come, first served. This year’s ceremony is scheduled to be held at the Viking Pavilion at Portland State University on Thursday, June 13th.
If there are concerns regarding your/your student's eligibility for graduation, please contact the counselor now.
The counselors are as follows:
- Tracy Grant - 503.408.2637 (students Last Name A-G)
- Paris Penn - 503.408.2624 (students Last Name H-O)
- Ritchie Martin - 503.408.2711 (students Last Name P-Z)
Commencement and all awards ceremonies are positive traditions at Parkrose. It is my hope that all students will be able to participate in the activities surrounding graduation. The school does not sponsor, support or sanction a “skip day” or “sleep over” for seniors. We also do not sponsor or support senior trips promoted by companies that are not affiliated with the school. If you are unsure of a company’s affiliation, please call the school.
The PHS Senior All Night Party Committee parents are dedicated to giving your senior a great night of fun. The party is memorable for students and parents. It takes many hours to attend to the necessary details and every volunteer is welcomed.
We look forward to putting on a formal, polished ceremony for the Class of 2024. This class has earned a truly special evening!
Once a Bronco, Always a Bronco!!
