Message from Mrs. Ouche
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!!
Cap & Gown Orders

Important Reminders
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.
