Principal's Message
I am thrilled to welcome our amazing CFT Staff back to the building this week! As we get ourselves ready to greet and begin learning with our students, we'll take some time to come together to connect, learn and plan for the year ahead. I want to thank and acknowledge Dean Fischer and our Instructional Coach, Mrs. Ponzetti for their collaboration and leadership in this work. I'd also like to thank all of the members of CFT's instructional leadership team for coming in a few days early to help us review and prepare our plans for the staff! Finally, I want to give a big shout out to our PSO for providing Tuesday's lunch. Learning and leading is hungry work, and we appreciate you!
Please take time to read the full update for important information about:
- Bus Routes
- Back to School Events
- Applying for Free & Reduced Lunch
I wish you all a wonderful last week of summer, and am so looking forward to meeting you very soon!

FREE BREAKFAST & LUNCH HAVE EXPIRED - MEALS WILL BE CHARGED THIS YEAR
The universal free meals waiver with USDA has expired. Beginning the 2022-2023 school year meals will be charged to the student accounts.
We encourage CFT Families to fill out the Free & Reduced Lunch Application. Your student can qualify for FREE meals if your family household income falls below the amounts outlined in the Oregon Expanded Income Guidelines. Please know that the applications are good for so much more than just free meals. With an approval Letter of Eligibility families can get discounted internet, waived fees at the high school level and other scholarship opportunities outside of the district.
A NEW APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED EACH SCHOOL YEAR
Please set up your student's meal account or apply for free meals through the Titan Program Website. TTSD is no longer using the My School Bucks Program.
