Packed With Pride Needs Your Help!
The FTTS sponsored program, Packed with Pride, has launched a campaign to support the continuation of the program through March 2021. Currently, PWP has enough funding to continue providing critical food boxes to families in need through the second week of November. If we don't raise more money, we will have to shut down our program before Thanksgiving. The short term immediate need is to fund the program through December. Please take a moment to read about their mission and how you can help.
Library Books Now Available!
Contactless library book pickup is now available at Tualatin Elementary on Thursdays. You can reserve your books online through Destiny. An email will be sent once your order has been processed so that you can sign up for a pickup time.

Social and Emotional Learning: Self Awareness, Identifying Emotions
The week of November 2nd -6th the SEL competency was Self-Awareness. Self-awareness is having an accurate understanding of yourself. That includes understanding your abilities, strengths, challenges, feelings, and who you are as an individual.
Use these conversation starters with your children: What does it mean to have an “accurate” view of yourself? Why is that important? We have also learned this week that Self-awareness is about knowing who you are and what makes you tick! Share three things that motivate you. They can be people, things, or activities that you enjoy!
These are the Family videos for the week: Self-Awareness, Identifying Emotions. Handouts are attached.
