Greetings TTSD community,
I hope you all are taking a moment to enjoy these last few days of fall sunshine and warm temperatures.
Included in this version of our monthly newsletter, you will meet our new TTSD student representatives to the School Board; learn about the federal CARES ACT Child Care support available to families; find information on our School Based Health Centers, district meal service, and technology support. We share the continued generous support of the Foundation for Tigard Tualatin Schools and an update on our community review process of the district’s partnership with School Resource Officers. Complete message.
