Principal Message | Mensaje de la Directora
August 5, 2022
Dear Hazelbrook Families,
I am humbled to be serving this incredible community as your new Principal. As a former Hazelbrook Hawk myself, the care and dedication I have to this school community is indescribable and I am beyond excited to welcome staff and students back into the building soon!
August is a month full of various emotions as we all begin to think about the year ahead. For some students and families, this may be an extremely anxious time; new school, new friends, new teachers, new routines or perhaps the lingering impact COVID has had on all of us are bringing up these feelings. For others, school hasn’t provided a sense of belonging—these are all feelings I have experienced as well. Whatever emotions you have about school right now, please know we are committed to creating a community of care where every learner is celebrated, expectations are clear and supports are provided so everyone can THRIVE and LEARN. Our mission is to be a place where each and every student experiences personal academic and social-emotional-behavioral success and growth. We educate every child.
Over this last month I have met with many staff members who have shared their time with me to express how much they care for the children they serve. They have shared ideas to incorporate fun into the year, ways to foster a love for learning, and supports that will benefit students. Listening to staff, students, and families is something I will continue to prioritize this school year by creating a student council and planning regular listening sessions with families, both virtual and in-person.
Lastly, I couldn’t do this work without an incredible team of Associate Principals, Ben Burkhardt and, new to HMS, Jamie Voelker. They will work closely alongside some of you. Mr. Burkhardt will work with students whose last names begin with A-K and Ms. Voelker will work with students whose last names begin with L-Z.
Please watch for information about listening sessions and ways to become involved in upcoming newsletters and don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
Enjoy these last few weeks of summer and we can’t wait to see you soon!
In partnership,
Lisa Dailey

Estimadas familias de Hazelbrook,
Me siento honrada de estar sirviendo a esta increíble comunidad como su nueva Directora. Como ex Halcón de Hazelbrook, el cuidado y la dedicación que tengo para esta comunidad escolar es indescriptible y estoy más que emocionado de dar la bienvenida al personal y a los estudiantes de regreso al edificio pronto.
Agosto es un mes lleno de diversas emociones, ya que todos empezamos a pensar en el año que viene. Para algunos estudiantes y familias, este puede ser un momento extremadamente ansioso; nueva escuela, nuevos amigos, nuevos maestros, nuevas rutinas o tal vez el impacto persistente que COVID ha tenido en todos nosotros están generando estos sentimientos. Para otros, la escuela no les ha brindado un sentido de pertenencia; todos estos son sentimientos que yo también he experimentado. Independientemente de las emociones que tenga sobre la escuela en este momento, tenga en cuenta que estamos comprometidos a crear una comunidad de cuidado donde se celebra a cada alumno, las expectativas son claras y se brinda apoyo para que todos puedan PROSPERAR y APRENDER. Nuestra misión es ser un lugar donde todos y cada uno de los estudiantes experimenten el éxito y el crecimiento académico personal y social-emocional-conductual. Educamos a todos los niños.
Durante este último mes me he reunido con muchos miembros del personal que han compartido su tiempo conmigo para expresar cuánto se preocupan por los niños a los que sirven. Han compartido ideas para incorporar diversión al año, formas de fomentar el amor por el aprendizaje y apoyos que beneficiarán a los estudiantes. Escuchar al personal, los estudiantes y las familias es algo que seguiré priorizando este año escolar mediante la creación de un consejo estudiantil y la planificación de sesiones periódicas de escucha con las familias, tanto virtuales como en persona.
Por último, no podría hacer este trabajo sin un increíble equipo de Directores Asociados, Ben Burkhardt y, nueva en HMS, Jamie Voelker. Trabajarán en estrecha colaboración con algunos de ustedes. El Sr. Burkhardt trabajará con estudiantes cuyos apellidos comiencen con A-K y la Sra. Voelker trabajará con estudiantes cuyos apellidos comiencen con L-Z.
Esté atento a la información sobre las sesiones de escucha y las formas de participar en los próximos boletines y no dude en comunicarse conmigo.
¡Disfrute de estas últimas semanas de verano y estamos ansiosos por verte pronto!
En asociación,
Lisa Dailey

We’ll be recognizing hundreds of students with awards at our first ever end-of-year awards ceremony on the morning of June 16.
While we were hoping to live stream the event for families, we’ve run into some technicalities and will instead record and post our event for families to view once completed. The video will be sent out through school messaging.

Free School Meals Will End June 2022
USDA Free Meal Program for All to Expire in June
Throughout the pandemic, The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) waived many of the program requirements, allowing schools to serve meals for free for all students 18 years old and under.
These waivers will expire as of June and beginning next school year, school meals will no longer be free to all students. Meals will continue to be free through the last day of this school year, June 16, 2022.
QUALIFYING FOR FREE MEALS NEXT SCHOOL YEAR
Your student can still qualify for free meals next school year 2022-2023 if your family household income falls below the amounts outlined in the Oregon Expanded Income Guidelines.
- Example, a family of four with a combined household income of less than $83,250 would qualify for free meals.
The free and reduced meal application will be available in July, please check the TTSD website ttsdschools.org to apply for free meals!
If you are in need of additional food resources, please see the attached PDF below for local resources available in the Tigard-Tualatin area for food, hot meals, and more. As always, reach out to your family resource team or school office for any additional information or resources your family may be in need of.

Summer cold? Skateboard fall? Need a sports physical or vaccine?
The district’s School-Based Health Center (SBHC) at Tualatin High School will close June 20 for summer break, but Neighborhood Health Center is still available to care for your student at one of our eight other locations in the Portland metro area.
SBHC patients can schedule appointments normally received at the SBHC at one of our medical, dental, or reproductive health clinics.
The closest medical clinic to Tualatin High School SBHC is NHC Canby Medical Clinic, a 20-minute drive from the SBHC.
View all NHC clinic locations on our website and see which location works best for you.
Additionally, unlike the SBHC, any family members in need — young or old — can be seen at other NHC clinics.
Don’t have insurance? No problem. All our clinics provide care regardless of insurance status or ability to pay, whether it’s your first time at the clinic or you’re a longtime patient.
To make an appointment at another clinic location or to become a patient, call (503) 848-8561.
Stay safe and healthy this summer,
Your SBHC Care Team
