Greetings Charger Families and Students -

We hope everyone had a nice long weekend. We are excited to host our Back to School and Supply Pick Up night on Thursday, September 10th from 4:00-7:00pm. See below for more details about this event and we look forward to seeing you all this Thursday. This week your child's case manager (this is your child's homeroom teacher) will reach out to you or directly to your student through a Zoom meeting. This person will be a support throughout the distance learning time. This week they will be checking in with families to ensure students have the technology necessary to start school as well as information on how to check their school email, how to sign in to their first Zoom class meetings starting on September 14th and where to find their student schedule. Starting the week of September 14th your child will have regular morning check ins with their case manager during the daily homeroom time. If you have not heard from your child's case manager by the end of the day on Friday, September 11th please contact our main office at 503-408-2900. Please see below for some important updates. Stay safe, stay healthy! We are Parkrose - Strong Together!

We have another technology distribution day this week on the below day and time.

• Wednesday, September 9th from 11:00-1:00pm

We will be distributing technology in front of Parkrose Middle School. Please remember to wear a mask and practice social distancing during the time you are on campus. If you attended a Parkrose elementary school and you borrowed a Chromebook last spring we ask that you keep that Chromebook and use it for distance learning this year.

If you are in need of internet access, we have a limited supply of T-Mobile hot spots. When you arrive to pick up your Chromebook, please identify that this is a need and we will work with you to get internet access.

You and your child should be able to view your child's class schedule and teachers in ParentVue and StudentVue as of last week. As we approach the start of the school year we wanted to provide an outline for what to expect next week during the first week of school. We know this will be a learning process for all of us, please do not hesitate to reach out to our main office or your child's homeroom teacher if you have questions.

This week students will be receiving information through their student email about Google Classroom for each of these meeting times. If your child has forgotten their login or password for their student email please email Eleisa Perry at eleisa_perry@parkrose.k12.or.us or call our front office at 503-408-2900 and we will provide it to you.

Parkrose School District will continue to provide lunch to students during the Distance Learning time. You may pick up lunch at any of the four Elementary Schools or Parkrose Middle School between the hours of 11:30-1:30pm on weekdays. This is a grab and go style pick up and you are welcome to drive or walk up. Please remember to wear a mask and practice social distance while on our school campuses.

This year it will be critical that we have updated information for all of our families in ParentVue. If you have ParentVue: please take a moment to review the information for you and your student and update anything that is incorrect. If you do NOT have ParentVue: please reach out to Eleisa Perry (eleisa_perry@parkrose.k12.or.us) to get that information.

If your child has forgotten their student email address or their password please email Eleisa Perry at eleisa_perry@parkrose.k12.or.us or call our front office at 503-408-2900. We encourage parents to take time to do this over the next two weeks so that students are prepared and able to check their student email prior to the start of school.

If you left items in your locker and did not pick them up last spring you are invited to come to Parkrose Middle School this week to pick up these items. Please come to the main office during the hours of 8:00-4:00 and our front office staff will assist you with getting your items. Please remember to wear a mask and practice social distancing while on campus.
