HOLIDAY HELP FROM HORIZON COMMUNITY CARE
Lost and Found at Conferences
Thank you for taking the time to go through the lost and found.
Garden Hoe Down
Our Garden "Hoe Down" will be Saturday, November 16, 9-11:00 a.m. Everyone welcome, but we are especially inviting families that helped us care for the garden this summer/fall. We'll be cleaning up, making herb bouquets for our special guests and enjoying some well earned refreshments.
We're calling this work party a "Hoe Down" as we will be putting the "hoe" down to the ground when we clean up the garden. It is a celebration for sure! But this "Hoe Down" is not to be confused with a dance, although you're free to do that as well!!!
Special invitations are being sent to families that helped care for our garden over the summer/fall. But everyone is welcome to join in the fun!
This will most likely be our last work party of the calendar year. Please make this family-friendly event a success!
EMERGENCY CLOSURES
The winter months bring with them the possibility of school closures--or delayed openings due to severe weather conditions. Before a decision is made, school and bus company officials monitor weather conditions and personally check roads in higher elevation areas. If conditions are severe enough to threaten the safety of students traveling to and from school, a decision is made to close or delay school. This decision is made by 6:00 a.m.
This announcement will be made on:
FlashAlert.net and through the Tigard-Tualatin SD mobile app

Parking Lot Safety Reminder
Please drop off and pick up your students right next to the curb in our front parking lot during arrival and dismissal. We ask that all parents observe our drop-off and pick-up signs to keep all children and adults safe during these busy times of the day. Please form one line of cars that runs next to the curb. Forming two lines, or parking next to the curb, causes undue delays and can force students and adults to walk between cars. Please do not ask your child to meet you in our back parking lot. Our supervision is in the front of the school during dismissal time. We want everyone to arrive at school and return home safely. Please observe our one car line procedure during arrival and dismissal.
Also, please remember that we have students and staff who ride bikes or scooters to school. Please do not pull into the bike lane to turn as that puts these folks at risk. Thank you for your help keeping everyone safe each day.
