Message From the Principal

Good Afternoon Templeton Families,

We have some cold weather in our forecast that could possibly interrupt our school schedule. Decisions around school closures and delays are made at the district level. The primary factor in these decisions is student and family safety, which is why we monitor road conditions. If school is closed for inclement weather all buildings in TTSD will be closed and all activities canceled.

We urge all of our families to stay up to date with the weather forecast and to have a contingency plan. The best way to get the latest information from TTSD is to sign up for our Flash Alert system. If you haven’t signed up yet you can do that here. Stay warm and safe Tigers!

Sincerely,

Rory Moore

Principal

Templeton Elementary School

Become a Jog-a-thon Sponsor

Hello Tiger families!

Do you or someone you know work for a business or organization that would like to be a sponsor

for the Templeton Elementary Jog-a-thon? Sponsorship of the Jog-a-thon is a great way to publicize

your company or organization while also supporting our school. Your sponsorship contribution helps to fund classroom technology, art and music programs, PE and playground equipment, field

trips, and much more! The TSO (Templeton Student Organization) offers different levels of

sponsorship that allow businesses and organizations to be highlighted among our community.

Please see the attached Jog-a-thon Sponsorship Letter for a description of what is included at each

level. If you are interested in sponsoring, please contact president@templeton-pso.org before

February 2024 to secure your sponsorship!

Thank you!

Is your student up to date with their immunizations?

Oregon’s immunization exclusion day is coming up on February 21, 2024.

State law requires immunizations for students in Oregon’s public and private schools, preschools,

childcare facilities, and Head Start programs.

If your child does not have all their required vaccines by February 21, they cannot attend school

until their immunizations are up-to-date.

For more information about required vaccines, where to obtain vaccinations, and medical and

non-medical exemptions, please visit:
