City of Tigard Planned Improvements
Project Description: Context-sensitive design to fill in sidewalk gaps and facilitate bicycling along 79th Avenue from Bonita Road to Durham Road so pedestrians will no longer be forced to share the roadway in the vehicle travel lane. This supports the vision statement in the City of Tigard’s Strategic Plan, “Tigard: an equitable community that is walkable, healthy, and accessible for everyone.”
Timeline: Design and Engineering to begin in 2024, construction planned for 2025.
Project Description: A new crosswalk with a rapid rate flashing beacon will be constructed across SW Locust Street to SW Lincoln Street. A new sidewalk (1,465 linear feet) will be constructed from SW 92nd Avenue to Hall Boulevard on the north side of Locust Street to complete the pedestrian network adjacent to the school. This supports the vision statement in the City of Tigard’s Strategic Plan, “Tigard: an equitable community that is walkable, healthy, and accessible for everyone.”
Timeline: The project will be starting in 2022 with a consultant selection. We estimate the project will be built in summer 2023.
Project Description: We need your help! The Fanno Creek Trail between Bonita Rd and Durham Rd is in the running for a regional trails grant. Completion of this critical gap was the #1 priority in recent city surveys. Tell Metro why this project is critical for you, your family, and our community. Additionally, there is an opportunity to support a Fanno Creek Trail Connection between Tigard and Lake Oswego (you can support multiple projects in the same survey). Please take this survey to advocate for the ‘W9: Fanno Creek Trail’ (between Bonita Rd and Durham Rd) and ‘W8: Tigard-Lake Oswego Trail.’

USDA Free Meal Program for All to Expire in June
Throughout the pandemic, The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) waived many of the program requirements, allowing schools to serve meals for free for all students 18 years old and under.
These waivers will expire as of June and beginning next school year, school meals will no longer be free to all students. Meals will continue to be free through the last day of this school year, June 16, 2022.
QUALIFYING FOR FREE MEALS NEXT SCHOOL YEAR
Your student can still qualify for free meals next school year 2022-2023 if your family household income falls below the amounts outlined in the Oregon Expanded Income Guidelines.
- Example, a family of four with a combined household income of less than $83,250 would qualify for free meals.
The free and reduced meal application will be available in July, please check the TTSD website ttsdschools.org to apply for free meals!
If you are in need of additional food resources, please see the attached PDF below for local resources available in the Tigard-Tualatin area for food, hot meals, and more. As always, reach out to your family resource team or school office for any additional information or resources your family may be in need of.
COVID Updates
Summer Message from Neighborhood Health Center SBHC
Summer cold? Skateboard fall? Need a sports physical or vaccine?
The district’s School-Based Health Center (SBHC) at Tualatin High School will close June 20 for summer break, but Neighborhood Health Center is still available to care for your student at one of our eight other locations in the Portland metro area.
SBHC patients can schedule appointments normally received at the SBHC at one of our medical, dental, or reproductive health clinics.
The closest medical clinic to Tualatin High School SBHC is NHC Canby Medical Clinic, a 20-minute drive from the SBHC.
View all NHC clinic locations on our website and see which location works best for you.
Additionally, unlike the SBHC, any family members in need — young or old — can be seen at other NHC clinics.
Don’t have insurance? No problem. All our clinics provide care regardless of insurance status or ability to pay, whether it’s your first time at the clinic or you’re a longtime patient.
To make an appointment at another clinic location or to become a patient, call (503) 848-8561.
Stay safe and healthy this summer,
Your SBHC Care Team
