ATTENDANCE
Attendance Line: If your child is absent please call 503-431-4320 as soon as possible. If you do not call the attendance line, you will receive an automated call from our office by 9:00 am.
TTSD is pleased to share that in alignment with the most recent guidelines from the Oregon Department of Education, there will no longer be automatic exclusion directly associated with COVID-19 cases. Instead, we will be following symptom-based exclusion guidelines to ensure the safety and well-being of all members of our school community.
In the event that your child tests positive for COVID-19, we request that you adhere to the symptom-based exclusion guidelines recommended by health authorities. This means that your child should stay home until they meet the criteria for return, which includes being fever-free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications and showing improvement in other symptoms. We strongly recommend that students wear a mask upon their return to school until 10 days following the start of symptoms, or positive test date.
Thank you for your continued partnership in maintaining a safe and nurturing educational environment for our students.
Sincerely,
The TTSD District Nursing Staff
Nancy Haning BSN, RN
Tigard-Tualatin District Nurse
