A Letter From Jordan Mills...
Dear Bridgeport Families,
I just want to quickly thank you for all that you are doing and have done this year to support our school and our students through this very unusual experience and most recently through our teacher transitions and move to hybrid. Thank you for your tech troubleshooting and for getting your students to school online or in person everyday. Thank you for reading the loads and loads of new information that come your way each week. Thanks for being so flexible and patient with all of the changes and new systems we have implemented. Thanks for all the calls, emails, texts to keep us up to speed with your needs and questions. And thank you for the kindness and care you show our staff and model for our students. This community really is one-of-a-kind, and I couldn’t be more grateful to be a part of it.
Sincerely,
Jordan Mills
Principal

OGLA (Girls) have plans for a season opening Jamboree’s on April 10th and having a full season thru June 10th. Field availability is going to be a challenge this year. Field space will dictate practice locations and times so practice locations and times are unknown at this time. This is also making it difficult to start our practice season on time. Typically the first week end in March practices would begin. Right now it looks like practices won’t start until March 29th.
Please go to www.tualatinlacrosse.com to register your players. If the season cancels before it starts we will give full refunds.

Hi Bridgeport families,
I hope you are doing well. I created a space where members of our community could find counseling, food, and other community resources. I hope this website will help us stay connected during this unsettling time. On the website you will find resources for supporting students at home, such as breathing and relaxation tools, ways to support children in identifying their emotions, and strategies for managing difficult behaviors. I will also post read alouds periodically and will be picking stories that seem relevant to the current time and the current needs of our students.
Thank you,
Jordan Karr

CARE-ING FOR OUR COMMUNITY FUNDRAISER
A letter from the Tigard-Tualatin Family Resource Center: CARE-ing Community Fundraiser
Dear Community Member,
During the COVID-19 pandemic, access to childcare has been one of the biggest barriers for families in our community. Being able to access safe and affordable childcare is often the first step for parents and guardians who wish to return to work. Yet the average monthly cost of childcare services for one child is between $900-$1,500.
Even as many of our families transition to hybrid learning with their local schools, this need will still be present. Due to COVID-19 safety measures, students are only in the classroom for a partial school day meaning that working parents are often not available for drop off and pick up. For many families, a lack of childcare means an inability to work and therefore to make ends meet.
For this reason, the Tigard-Tualatin Family Resource Center is fundraising for childcare tuition scholarships. Donating towards this fund will benefit not only the individual students and their families, but also older siblings in high school who will have the opportunity to fully engage in their own classwork and learning without having to care for younger siblings.
All donations are tax deductible and we are happy to provide you with a donation receipt. Please makes check out to the Tigard-Tualatin Family Resource Center and mail to 9000 SW Durham Road #716, Tigard, Oregon 97224. For other payment options, please feel free to call me at 503-603-1588. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Catherine West
District Social Services Coordinator Family Resource Center Tigard-Tualatin School District
