Russell Elementary School

Russell Elementary School Welcome! Russell is part of the Parkrose School District and was established in 1962. We have 430 students, K-5, and 45 staff members.

We have a strong tradition of community involvement and high expectations for all students. This page is a way for current families as well as alumni to follow what is happening at Russell. We will update this page with current information about school events and activities that you will want to mark on your calendar. We hope that this will be a way to increase communication between the school and

families. Just like we ask from our students, please keep the comments and conversation appropriate.

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of reading, and speaking to, the staff and students at Russell Elementary School in school district. We read A Quilt is Made of Pieces, and spoke about the importance of culture and diversity. What a beautiful opportunity! Just as heartwarming was the package that arrived today filled with these Thank You cards, handwritten by students and faculty. These mean the world, and YOU are the reason I write. Thank you!

It snowed!!!! Ms. Smiths class lovin’ it!

Parkrose Families,

We are excited to announce that the Parkrose School District is adopting a new form of school-to-home communication called ParentSquare. This unified communications platform is designed to keep parents and guardians informed and encourage greater engagement and connection throughout all of our schools. This initiative aligns with the District’s goal to strengthen community engagement. ParentSquare will provide a safe way for District administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, and parents to:

Send messages to teachers and school staff
See calendar events
Sign up to volunteer, complete forms, and RSVP to events
Schedule parent-teacher conferences
and much more… all in one centralized place!

District, school, grade level, and classroom information will be sent to your phone or computer via email and/or text. It will be important that your child’s school has your current email address and mobile phone number so that you do not miss any important information. Contact your child’s school if you are unsure about the contact information on file.

Joining ParentSquare is a breeze. Back in June you should have received an invitation email or text, that allowed you to click the link to activate your account. If you didn't receive an invitation, don't worry. You can register your account now at www.parentsquare.com/signin (just enter your email address on file with your child’s school under “Register” on the right). If you need any assistance, please contact your child’s school to verify your contact information.

You can use ParentSquare on any device and you can download the free mobile app for iOS or Android or use the desktop version at www.parentsquare.com/signin. We encourage you to view the following resources to learn more about how to use ParentSquare:
