TTVA Weekly Newsletter

Greetings TTVA Families,

We are excited to see you online next week. All new students will be completing TTVA Orientation with Ms. Robertson - Engagement Specialist, Tuesday morning. Tuesday, September 3 is also the first day for students in 9th grade. Students should check their school email and Canvas for their schedule that morning or the night before. We will be running a shortened schedule in the afternoon that will provide students the opportunity to meet many of their teachers and get more familiar with Canvas and Kaltura.

This ensures that all students will be ready to start their full school day on Wednesday.

Reminder: Wednesday, September 4 is the first full day of school for all students. We will run our regular bell schedule which is included in the Welcome Letter below. I can't wait to see you in class next week.

ParentSquare, the new communication platform, allows parents and guardians in the Tigard-Tualatin School District to receive all communications from the district, schools, classrooms, and activity groups in one unified app and service.

Tigard-Tualatin School District is launching ParentSquare—a simple and unified school-to-home communication platform—to reach and engage every parent, helping ensure all parents can participate in their student's education.

By unifying multiple tools into one communications app and service, ParentSquare provides a seamless experience for parents and staff. Parents can keep track of news, activities, and events from all their children’s schools in one place.
