Tualatin Together has adapted the National Safety Town Center curriculum for our community and will provide Tualatin's inaugural Safety Town in July 2024. Safety Town Tualatin’s Goal is to create foundational safety habits for rising kindergarteners to use at home, school, and/or community spaces.

Safety Town is a 1 week, half day camp for 1st graders and rising kindergarteners that teaches basic safety lessons. Safety Town uses guest presentations, songs, dance, crafts, and hands-on experiences to teach students basic safe practices with fire, pedestrian, bikes, traffic, buses, water, poison, and emergency preparedness. Safety Town will be overseen and administered by Tualatin Together and will employ middle and high school students from our community to serve as counselors and junior counselors.

Tualatin Together is a non-profit organization that has served Tualatin since 1990. Tualatin Together’s primary focus is to prevent youth consumption of marijuana, alcohol, tobacco, vaping and other high risk activities that prevent them from living to their full potential. To do this, they work to facilitate positive mental health norms for youth by teaching resilience, building coping skills, recognizing and addressing trauma, and providing resources to and events in our community that address community norms that support positive youth development.

Volunteer process:

We are very fortunate to have wonderful community members and families that want to be part of our students' education by volunteering! With that comes the responsibility of making sure our schools and students are safe at all times.

Anyone seeking to be a volunteer for our schools and or buildings needs to be background checked and offered the vector training. If a community member and or parent wants to volunteer, they have to go through the volunteer process and be cleared before doing so.

Volunteers and after school events

The volunteer process must be followed if the person will be interacting with our students. Whether the volunteering will take place during school or after school, the parent/community member must undergo the volunteer requirements as outlined on our website. This includes all school and or PTO/PSO sponsored events.

Visitors and after school or PTO/PSO sponsored events

Visitors to these events do not need to be background checked and go through the volunteer process as they are not expected to have interaction with students. Adults that come as visitors to after school events are only expected to supervise the children/students that accompany them.

Covid Vaccine Cards are no longer required!
