Here is the interest form for signing up to chaperone from 10:30-1:30 on April 19th.

STATE TESTING
Federal and state mandatory testing begins next Monday, April 15.
Calling all student iPads!
Parents, we are asking for your help: Mandatory state testing is right around the corner, please check in with your student to make sure they know where their iPad is and to please make sure it is updated to the current operating system. If possible please put eyes on it yourselves to make sure it is updated to IOS 16.4 or above. Please use this link to update if needed. We will have a very limited number of loaners, therefore, bringing a charged iPad everyday is imperative. We thank you in advance for your help.
All students will be taking the English Language Arts & Math assessment during the weeks of April 15th & 22nd. We rely on these assessments to assist with student placements, funding, and academic growth tracking. We will have a special schedule for all students on April 15th-26th (excluding Wednesdays & April 19th) where they will test during their morning meeting class for an extended amount of time. Thank you for your support during this process. See schedule below.

DISTRICT NEWS
Tigard Turns the Tide, in partnership with TTSD, encourages you to have conversations with your child/ren about fentanyl. Fentanyl is a dangerous drug that is circulating in Washington County. A tiny amount of fentanyl — the size of two grains of salt — can be fatal.
Fentanyl is often disguised as “look alike” pills. Some teens buy or get pills from classmates and friends, or via social media connections. They might think these pills are drugs like Adderall, Percocet, Oxycodone, or Xanax. What they may get are fake pills containing fentanyl. Fentanyl can also be contained in street drugs such as methamphetamines, ecstasy and heroin.
Let your student know that any pill they don’t get from a pharmacy may contain fentanyl, which can be fatal. Even if the pill comes from a friend or classmate, it could have fentanyl in it.
The New Drug Talk offers helpful resources for starting the conversation. For more information about Fentanyl, go to songforcharlie.org.
If you are worried about your student or looking for resources, a good place to start is your student's school counselor.
You can find more resources on the TTSD website. The Tigard High School-Based Health Center (503-431-5775) is able to provide Alcohol and Drug Assessments for all TTSD students. Lastly, the Washington County Crisis & Consultation Line is available 24 hours a day at 503-291-9111.
