In order to make the transition into the coming year, we need a parent/guardian in the current student's primary household to review and sign permission forms, update (if needed) the student's household information, emergency contacts and health information. The Annual Family Check-In is located in the Parent Portal Account. For assistance, please contact Portal@TSD.org. The Annual Family Check-In is required for ALL current students.
