Spirit Wear Update
Join Tualatin Elementary Site Council!
Hello Families,
Site Council is looking for new parent members! What is Site Council you ask? The Tualatin Elementary Site Council is a group of teachers, parents and classified staff who work with the principal to develop, review and evaluate school improvement programs and make recommendations for how to use our school resources. Our Site Council’s main goal is to increase student achievement by improving instructional programs, plan professional development and foster family involvement. We also discuss school needs, enrichment opportunities and grant funding. Our Site Council meets each month after school from 2:45-3:30.
If you are interested in joining Site Council please email Amy Barnes the Site Council Chair at abarnes@ttsd.k12.or.us.
We look forward to new parents joining Site Council.
