Twality Schools United Multicultural Festival will be May 31 from 5:00-7:00 pm at Twality Middle School with food, art, culture, music and dancing. See the flyers below for opportunities to volunteer or donate.

In-district student transfer requests for Art Rutkin Elementary will follow the process detailed below for grades 1st - 5th for the 2024-2025 school year. Kindergarten transfer requests will be considered in August 2024 to allow priority for resident boundary enrollment.

• A certain number of students will be approved at each grade level based on the projected enrollment for the 2024-2025 school year at Art Rutkin Elementary. This number varies by grade level due to current enrollment.

• A lottery for Art Rutkin Elementary in-district transfer requests at each grade level will take place on May 13th, 2024. Applications received by Friday, May 10th, 2024 will be included.

• Requests not selected on May 13th, and those received after May 10th, will be placed on a waitlist for consideration in August.

• There must be room in all grade levels where siblings are involved.

• All families who live outside of the Art Rutkin attendance boundary will need to provide their own transportation should a transfer request be approved.

• An additional lottery may be held for any remaining open grade levels in August. This includes all kindergarten requests.

• A separate transfer request will be required for transitions to middle and high school as students move to each level.

• This process aims to ensure a fair and organized in-district transfer enrollment process for all families regarding Art Rutkin Elementary.

• Questions? Contact your child’s school office, or Mr. Kingery, Art Rutkin Elementary principal, at 503 431-3500, or jkingery@ttsd.k12.or.us.
