Grant Football showed their fortitude and worked hard for the win against Roosevelt. We had lots of Players out and lots of Players that stepped up. Great Job Generals!


PPS has New Covid-19 Vaccination Requirements of Spectators - PPS is now requiring all "visitors", including those attending athletic events, show proof of vaccination OR a negative test result within the past 72 hours.  The message was sent out throughout the district on Thursday and I am still working on some more identifying language specifically around our students attending our games.  For the remainder of the fall season this will take place at all Volleyball and Football home games, for soccer, since we play varsity games off site or at Grant Park, we will not be able to manage that.  I do expect it to happen at soccer games on PPS campuses.  They are not yet sure if the same requirement will be in place for the students. 


The Grant High athletic website is trying to be more up to date weekly with all necessary information for the community to know for our program. You can still always check FOGF site and OSAA for current game info! 

(Grant Gear may change. Will let you know)

Vax card info needs to be turned in. 

Just in case there were any issues the first time we were asked to put Vax cards on synergy. This will be vital as administrators look up vaccination status.

1) Upload your student's Covid-19 Vaccination Cards into Synergy-ParentVUE.
This is helpful for contact tracing.  

Instructions: Covid 19 Vaccination card -parentvue. 

The option for parents to upload their student’s Covid 19 Vaccination Card in the ParentVUE is available in the Yearly Verification screen.

To access ParentVUE, in your web browser, go to: https://parent-portland.cascadetech.org/portland/

Click on I am a Parent to log into ParentVUE. Enter your username and password. Click Login.

On the Select Registration page, select 2021-22 Current Year- Yearly Verification from the drop down menu.

Click on the Begin New Student Registration link.

In Yearly Verification, parents will be able to update their student information and upload their Covid Vaccination Card. Click the Upload button to proceed.

This information will be added to your student’s immunization record in the Synergy Student Information System. 

If you have already updated your student’s information in Yearly Verification, you can  still go back to the Yearly Verification screen  by clicking on Yearly Verification in the upper right hand corner of the ParentVUE screen.  You will be able to upload the Covid 19 Vaccination Record at this time.  

For Varsity Football
If you are unsuccessful uploading to Synergy, please email a  pdf or picture of your student's vaccination card to Cynthia Roberts, GHS Business Manager, (croberts@pps.net).  Ms. Roberts will upload it for you.

Senior Night!

Senior Night- Parents

October 29th, Arrive by 6:30 @Marshall 

We need to receive letters from Parents to be read during their players introductions. Please turn in ASAP,

so that we are not scrambling to add your senior at the last minute. Thanks!

Feel free to bring banners or balloons for your player. Seniors and families will be announced on the field before the game with any family that they would like to be there and will have photos taken with your player. 


We would like parents or Guardians to send us a short letter that can be read by the announcer (live stream and game) when your player is with family on the field. This is needed ASAP.

THINGS WE NEED FROM PARENTS-

  1. Please prepare a 20-30 second letter. It can include:

  2. Tell us who your player is.

  3. How long he has been playing football.

  4. His position.

  5. What the seniors plans for next year will be. 

  6. Some love and good wishes to them from you. 

  7. Name of Parents or Guardians and family names who may be on field with player for Senior night. (If you’re not sure on who will be present we can add that night.)

Please send letter to Karmenvonarx@icloud.com
