Message from the Principal
Good Afternoon Templeton Families,
As 2023 wraps up I want to thank you for everything you’ve done to make your students’ attendance a priority this year. We love seeing the kids every day! Please continue to make attendance a priority in 2024, and even though there’s no school during winter break we hope every student is able to Read, Read, Read as much as possible!
From myself and the entire Templeton staff we wish you a happy holiday season and a wonderful New Year.
It’s always a good day to be a Templeton Tiger!
Sincerely,
Rory Moore
Principal

Winter Well-Being Drive
Immunization Exclusion Day: February 24, 2024
State law requires that all children in public and private schools, preschools, Head Start, and certified childcare facilities have up-to-date immunizations. Parents or guardians will receive a letter in early February if their child's immunization record shows that he or she has not received the required vaccinations. Children will not be able to attend school starting February 24, 2024 if their records on file show missing immunizations. For additional information visit the Oregon Health Authority Website.
Tigard and Tualatin School-Based Health Centers:
The SBHCs are open to taking immunization appointments any time during business hours. We encourage all families to schedule an appointment in advance of Exclusion Day.
