The "Green" Corner
Did you know....
The Miami Hurricanes Football team had uniforms made out of plastic for their opening game that was collected off of the beach which kept it out of the ocean. After use they will be auctioned off to help a local marine science school. How cool is that?! Read the article HERE.
At Trillium Creek we are partnering with TREX to help with the plastic pollution. You are able to recycle your clean, dry empty plastic bags and film packaging. Look for bins and signage as you walk through the front doors of the school.
We can no longer recycle batteries or ink cartridges here at Trillium. If you have questions on where to go to recycle these items, please call Metro.

News From The PTA
Working Parents Liaison!
Are you a working parent who finds it hard to connect with what is going on at TCPS and the PTA? Do you have ideas to contribute for the growth of the PTA but not sure how to share them? Well, we now have a Working Parents Liaison committed to representing the voices of the working parents who aren’t able to attend daytime PTA meetings, have ideas and suggestions for the success of the PTA, or can’t volunteer for PTA-supported events due to work schedules. Please reach out to Heather Brinkley, our new Working Parents Liaison, at brinkleyfamily97@gmail.com. We are really wanting all parents to feel informed and included in what is going on at school and at the PTA.
Please Join the PTA! Click HERE!

District Office Information
In 2017, the Oregon Department of Education introduced new, comprehensive Health and Wellness Standards and Performance Indicators for kindergarten through 12th grade. Over the last year, a team of West Linn-Wilsonville teachers, counselors and administrators has been working to learn about the standards, explore curricular resources and implement practices to teach toward the standards.
We will hold another community information meeting on Nov. 27 at the district office from 6:30 - 7:30 to provide an update on the district's Health & Wellness Plan. Our district office is located at 22210 SW Stafford Road, Tualatin, OR 97072.
Safety Spotlight
Join us for a Future High School Possibilities Community Forum
As our School Board contemplates its Board Goal No. 4, and the possibility of a Capital Bond in the near future, the planning for future high school learning spaces is set to begin. Last year, our superintendent held a year-long High School Study, examining current and future programs and possibilities.
Combined with recent 10-year enrollment projections, and learning space capacity calculations created by the Long Range Planning Committee, the Board has signaled that it's time to begin planning for future high school learning spaces. Two Community Forums will be held in December, inviting community members to learn about possibilities for future high school learning spaces and provide input.
Both Community Forums are exactly the same. Patrons may attend whichever forum is more convenient. Boundary adjustments will NOT be a topic at these forums, as future high school possibilities are not expected to impact existing boundaries.
Dec. 4 — The district will hold the first Future High School Possibilities Community Forum on Dec. 4 starting at 6 p.m. in the Rosemont Ridge Middle School commons.
Dec. 5 — The district will hold the second Future High School Possibilities Community Forums on Dec. 5 starting at 6 p.m. in the Meridian Creek Middle School commons.
Safety Spotlight: Volunteers Vs. Visitors
Creating safe and welcoming schools for our students is a top priority in the West Linn-Wilsonville School District. We also strive to create schools that are safe and welcoming for our volunteers and visitors. That means utilizing a check-in process that allows our schools to know who is in the building at all times, prevent unauthorized visitors from entering, and distinguish who is a volunteer and who is a visitor.
Volunteers are approved through our HelpCounter system. Volunteers can work with students in the presence of another WLWV staff member. We also welcome community and parent visitors for school events, but visitors are not approved to work with students.
Interested volunteers can register by visiting the district website. Simply click ‘Start’ to fill out your application, which includes a background check. The first time that volunteers sign-in to volunteer at any WLWV school they will be prompted to accept a Volunteer Agreement. Volunteers must also re-register every three years, or when volunteering at a new school.
Note that volunteer coaches register through a different process. Contact your school’s athletic director or principal for more information.
We are fortunate in our school district to enjoy a tremendous amount of community volunteerism and support. Thank you for your time and effort, and for helping us keep our schools safe.
Reminders......
*Umbrella's are allowed to use to and from school but not allowed out on the playground during the day.
*Students are allowed in the building at 7:35 AM. School begins at 7:50. You will be marked tardy after 7:50.
*All visitors/volunteers must enter through the front doors and sign in at the office into our Help Counter system.
*If you have an item that needs to be dropped off to your child, please let the office do that for you. It's less interruption for the classroom. Items would include: snacks, coats, binders, library books, lunch, etc. We have Trillium Creek staff that deliver items throughout the day.
