We Want YOU! PTA Board Members for 2019-2020!
Want to get more involved at Trillium Creek? Take on a different volunteer role? Be creative and make a difference in your child’s school? TCPS PTA has THE opportunity for you! Every year we vote in a PTA Board- President, Vice President(s), Treasurer(s), Secretary, and Advisor. We will have returning Board Members, but are in need of a Treasurer, and a Secretary as these Board Members’ 2-year terms have, sadly, come to an end. Please contact PTA President, Christy Riehm, or any other Board Member to get more information. We are not your stereotypical PTA Board, we are not scary, and we actually get along and have fun! We have a lot of cool ideas for next year and want you to be a part of it! A conversation does not equal a commitment so feel free to just inquire. Thank you for considering to serve!
CREST-Jane Goodall Science Symposium
- Who: all primary school students who have a science or engineering project to share with our community, and who might be interested in learning about how they can continue doing science and engineering as they get older.
- What: Come set up your project display and enjoy the Discovery Center! We are going to have the high school robotics team there doing demonstrations, CREST will be there with animals and activities, and there will be tables where primary school students can show off their projects to the other students and community members who come to the Symposium.
- When: March 5th, 5:30-7:30 p.m.
- Where: Wilsonville High School Commons and Auxiliary Gym
- Why: We want our young scientists to have another opportunity to demonstrate to the world all that they learned doing a science fair project. Benefits to the students include: a ribbon for participating in our district-wide fair, the potential to meet other students from around the district who have the same interests, a chance to learn more about the K-12th grade science fair experience in our district, and check out some of the amazing high school projects!

MAP-Music and Arts Partners
Just one dollar can make a difference……and each one goes to your school! In the next few days an envelope will come home with your student to donate to the "Dollars for the Arts" campaign.
March is National Music in our Schools month and Youth Art Month and the 20th Annual “Dollars for the Arts” campaign to help support the arts in our school district. Since 1995, WL-WV Music and Arts Partners (MAP) has returned over $900,000 to our schools, the middle school musical, strings programs and scholarships for graduating seniors. MAP is a volunteer, non-profit organization working to promote arts education in our school district.
Trillium Creek’s campaign is March 11th through March 20th. Each year MAP returns 100% of the dollars raised during this campaign back to Trillium Creek!
Please return your “$ for the Arts” envelope! The class with the highest percentage of returned envelopes will receive an additional music class with Mr. Compton!
All contributions are tax deductible per our non-profit 501(c)(3) status. MAP will provide tax receipts for all contributions of $50.00 or more. Checks should be written to: Music and Arts Partners. Please include on the check note line: "MAP Dollars for the Arts at TCPS.”
Thank you!

Oregon Assessment Information for 2018-2019
Please see the attached information if you want to know more about Oregon's 2018-2019 English Language Arts and Mathematics Assessments and for the form for opting out of assessments.The form is attached to the bottom of the Tweet.
For all other statewide assessments (OSAS Online Science, ELPA Summative, the Kindergarten Assessment, and the ORExt Science Assessment), parents may request that their student be exempted from state testing based on either disability or religion. OAR 581-022-1910 allows school districts to excuse students from a state required program or learning activity, including state testing, to accommodate a student’s disabilities or religious beliefs. In order for a school district to excuse a student from testing under this rule, the student’s parent must submit a written request to the school district, listing the reasons for the request and proposing an alternative individualized learning activity for the student that meets the same goals that would be accomplished by participation in state testing. (Oregon Department of Education Assessment Guidelines, 2018-2019)
