Message From Substitute Principal, Sue Scott
A NOTE OF THANKS...
I wanted to take the opportunity to thank all you for welcoming me into the Tualatin Elementary community during Jim's absence. I have enjoyed getting to know your children and supporting this amazing staff. While I know that the phrase "It takes a village to raise a child," is a bit overused, I do believe that it takes the support of a strong partnership between families and the school community to give every child what he/she/they need to be successful.

CONGRATULATIONS to our 4th and 5th grade black belt recorder achievers. Your dedication and commitment to learning and performing nine songs on the recorder, including "Ode to Joy", is impressive and deserving of praise.
