With Governor Brown enforcing a "stay home, save lives" executive order, we are doing our part at Parkrose to abide by the order while still supporting our community. The Parkrose High School staff is meeting via virtual meetings to plan how we can best support our students during this time. If you haven't taken the technology survey sent by the district please do so, this will help us know how to help you!

There will be more information coming this week as decisions are made and put into practice following updates from the Governor's office as well as from the state Superintendent's. If you have any questions please always feel free to reach out and ask, we may not have all the answers right now but we will work to get you one. Most importantly, stay home, stay safe, stay healthy. The health of you and your families is the most important during this time.

Parkrose is committed to maintaining educational practices during this time. During this first week after what was our originally scheduled Spring Break, teachers will be working to get information out to students to continue to learn. This may look like a variety of things, Zoom class meetings, Google Classroom posts, Instagram live feed. Please download these apps so you are prepared to receive the information. Again, we don't want technology to be a barrier to your continued learning and success, please fill out the tech survey if you haven't already, or reach out to a teacher of yours if technology is a need. We will get through this Bronco Strong!

Parkrose School District still plans to continue to provide "grab and go" meals at all Elementary schools as well as the Middle School this coming week, starting Monday, March 30th through the closure. These meals will be provided daily from 11am to 1pm. Reminder that students must be present to obtain a meal. There are other local area food supports if additional help is needed, please reach out to any staff member for a full list.

During this closure part of the Governor's executive order requires that districts provide emergency childcare for essential workers, ie. medical workers and first responders. Parkrose will begin the emergency childcare at Russell Elementary next week. Families are asked to dial 211 to find available support in their region. We will update this information as we receive more guidance.
