iPad Screen Time Passcode
Recently, we discovered that several students intentionally triggered the Passcode lock to disable the iPads. This makes the iPad unusable until we wipe the device. We have a solution that removes the current passcode & prevents students from setting the passcode again. This will be implemented Tuesday May 26th.
How can parents manage iPad usage?
Parents are recommended to use the Screen Time setting to set App limits and other restrictions about iPad daily usage. Please go here to this PARENT HELP ARTICLE to see the short videos to enable the feature and set the restrictions.
What if parents forget the Screen Time passcode?
Parents are recommended to remember Screen Time passcode. The TTSD Helpdesk (503-431-4051) can remove the Screen Time passcode when the parents call in.
Message From the PTA
The PTA will be holding a virtual meeting on June 2nd to facilitate end-of-the-year business. Members will be voting on the budget for 2020-21 school year and hold board elections. Many questions will be addressed, such as how we will be distributing Memory Books. If you have a specific question or topic that you would like added to the agenda, please email the PTA by May 25th.

Please fill out the form below if you would like to attend so we can collect email addresses. The link to attend the meeting will be sent via email to attendees prior to the meeting. For safety purposes, you will not be able to attend the meeting without the link.
Temporary Job Opportunity with the Census
The area of Tualatin where the school is located is very short staffed for the 2020 census and census takers are being hired. This is only a temporary position, but it can provide a bit of income for people who have recently lost their jobs or people who want to help the community.
They are not fingerprinting or training until the stay at home order is lifted, but are taking online applications. The rate is $18 per hour for enumerators and $20 per hour for supervisors. PLUS paid mileage! People can do this job full or part time.
