7th Grade Parents Needed for 8th Grade Promotion
7th Grade Parents Needed for 8th Grade Promotion
Eighth grade promotion is coming up on June 13, 2024. Traditionally, 7th grade parents have hosted on
the behalf of the PTSA. We would love to have a few seventh grade parents who would be willing to help
with this event so our eighth grade families can be fully present for their student.
Set up starts at 5pm and clean up ends around 7:30pm. The event takes place at Cleveland High School.

8th Grade Chaperones STILL Needed!
College Visit or Job Shadowing June 4th & 6th
Hello families!
This year all 8th grade students in PPS will be participating in a capstone experience at either a college visit or job site shadowing day. Then, students will complete a written reflection to demonstrate their learning.
Students were surveyed to share their preferences for job shadowing or the college visit. Choices were Portland Center Stage, IBEW Electrical Union, a real estate firm, a farm and a visit to Oregon State University!
In order to accommodate these various trips, we are looking for a minimum of 10-15 chaperones.
Details:
All chaperones must have a current PPS background check and be available for the entire trip (likely the whole school day).
Here is the district information about getting cleared to participate
Trips will be either June 4th or June 6th.
All attempts will be made to place you with your child/family member/student and if that isn’t possible we will let you know ahead of time.
Please fill out this form if you are interested and we will reach out with more information!
Sincerely,
The 8th Grade Team at Hosford
