Greetings, TTVA Families. Back-to-school preparations are underway as we work to welcome students and families to the new school year at Tigard-Tualatin Virtual Academy. Please keep an eye on your email for updates and further information as the first day of school approaches. Email and text messaging will be the primary means of school-wide communication. Please review your information in ParentVue to ensure that we have the right email and phone number.

Back-to-school night is an opportunity for all students and their families to speak with teachers and TTVA staff. Teachers will also distribute class-specific supplies such as painting and science kits and be available to answer questions.

TTSD is excited to share with you that we will be using ParentSquare this year to communicate with you throughout the school, as well as in classes and groups.

ParentSquare provides a simple and safe way for everyone at school to connect. For more information, click here.

Follow us for updates on events, reminders, and more.

TTVA t-shirts are now available for purchase on the TTVA website under "TTVA Online Store," including a limited edition student design created by Macee, an 11th grader. Click here to purchase a shirt.

Students are expected to attend their required live class sessions. This is the best way to ensure you get daily attendance. At TTVA we record when students are present, not when they are absent. Students who have not had contact with a teacher will be part of the robocall each afternoon. Please make sure your students are attending class and staying in contact with their teachers. If you student is ill or will miss class please follow the process below to report and absence.
