Hello Chargers!

We miss you all so much and thought this is one way we can communicate with each other. We will also use this newsletter to share resources and ideas with the Parkrose community. It is important for you to know we are here to support students and families. We will also be communicating through text, calls, and emails. Our contact information will be listed at the bottom of this newsletter.

We know this is a stressful time for not only our community but the globe. We wanted to reassure our students and families that online learning is to provide tools and activities, not to add additional stress. The most important message our school district wants to share is that our families are safe, healthy, and your basic needs being met. Please feel free to reach out to check-in, share resources, or if you have any additional questions or concerns.

Ms. Mara and Mr. Sonny
