Help Bridge the Gaps
"Help Bridge the Gaps" with a donation to the Foundation for Tigard Tualatin Schools' annual Fund Drive. Your gift funds the School Grants that are annually awarded to our 17 schools, to fund vital part-time teaching staff that the state budget can't afford. These part-time teachers bridge gaps when they facilitate math & reading small groups, after school activities, language assistance, mental health support, and so much more!

Tualatin Together
Tualatin Together, in partnership with TTSD, encourages you to have conversations with your student 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.
Tualatin Together
Tualatin Together, en asociación con TTSD, lo alienta a conversar con su estudiante sobre el fentanilo. El fentanilo es una droga peligrosa que circula en el condado de Washington. Una pequeña cantidad de fentanilo (del tamaño de dos granos de sal) puede ser mortal.
El fentanilo a menudo se disfraza de pastillas que se parecen. Algunos adolescentes compran u obtienen pastillas de compañeros de clase y amigos, o a través de conexiones en las redes sociales. Podrían pensar que estas pastillas son medicamentos como Adderall, Percocet, Oxycodone o Xanax. Lo que pueden recibir son pastillas falsas que contienen fentanilo. El fentanilo también puede estar contenido en drogas ilícitas como las metanfetaminas, el éxtasis y la heroína.
Informe a su estudiante que cualquier pastilla que no obtenga en la farmacia puede contener fentanilo, que puede ser fatal. Incluso si la pastilla proviene de un amigo o compañero de clase, podría contener fentanilo.
New Drug Talk ofrece recursos útiles para iniciar la conversación. Para obtener más información sobre el fentanilo, visite songforcharlie.org.
Si está preocupado por su estudiante o busca recursos, un buen lugar para comenzar es el consejero escolar de su estudiante.
Puede encontrar más recursos en el sitio web de TTSD. El Centro de Salud de la Escuela Secundaria Tigard (503-431-5775) puede proporcionar evaluaciones de alcohol y drogas para todos los estudiantes de TTSD. Por último, la Línea de Consulta y Crisis del Condado de Washington está disponible las 24 horas del día al 503-291-9111."

This year’s program will run July 1-August 1, Monday-Thursday, 9:30am-11:30am, and we welcome students entering grades 2-11 in 2024-25. The cost of the program is $125, though scholarships are available.
