Fall Conferences October 8-10
Dear Trillium Creek Families:
The West Linn-Wilsonville subtracts two instructional days from the academic calendar each fall, and again in the spring, for parent/teacher conferences. Because we value the opportunity for teachers, parents and students to discuss progress, create goals, and celebrate success in a meeting format, the district has set aside October 10 and 11, 2018 for conferences. To allow for the many parents that work during school hours, the staff at Trillium Creek has chosen to exchange the October 11 date for two 4 hour evenings on October 8 and 9. Our parent/teacher conference schedule is below. Please do your best to schedule your conference within these times. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. The conference schedule will be released on September 28 at 6:00 PM.
TCPS Fall Conference Schedule October 8-10
*Approximate Agreed Upon Hours*
Monday After school until 7 PM
Tuesday After school until 7 PM
Wednesday 8 AM-3PM
We look forward to meeting with each family to get to know the thoughts about each child as learners and as developing individuals. During the conferences, we will set goals and make supportive agreements about ways both parents and teachers will help our students be successful at school.
Thank you,
Jim Mangan

Frequently Asked Questions about Head Lice
How do I get ride of head lice when our family is affected?
The best attack is to check every one in the family at the same time to be sure all affected individuals receive treatment.
If you chose to use lice treatment products, use them only as directed. These are strong insecticides and should not be misused.
The eggs are difficult to see and remove if you are unfamiliar with them. They are the size of a sesame seed and contain live lice larvae. When the nit hatches, a new louse is now on the move and eating. Their heat and food source is on the scalp. Within one week they are mature enough to reproduce and the cycle continues.
Vacuuming is also a very important factor. If the louse has crawled onto the bed or furniture, it can stay alive without a food source for 24 hours. You must vacuum all of the upholstery in the home, the beds, carpets, and car before anyone else sits on them to prevent spread in the household.
Laundry is also important. Any clothes that have been worn or touched by clothes of the affected person must be washed in hot water and dried in a hot dryer to kill active lice you can put all of the laundry in trash bags, seal them tight, store them outside of the house and wash them when you get to them.
When can my child return to school after having head lice?
They can return when they are bug free (which is the recommendation of the CDC, Harvard School of Public Health, American Academy of Pediatrics, National Association of School Nurses, and Oregon Health Department). Please come with your student to school upon their return and one of the trained school staff will check them prior to their return to the classroom. We will check again on Day 7 and Day 14.
Do I need to notify the school when my child gets head lice?
Yes. That is the only way we can help you to stop the problem quickly and to check any other contacts when appropriate to do so.
