Student safety is one of our top priorities at Deer Creek. As we know, the traffic during morning drop-off and afternoon dismissal can be pretty hectic. With that said, please do not unload or load your child(ren) into a car on 131st Ave. Please choose to use the pull through pick up line in our parking lot, park in the lot, or park in the neighborhood and retrieve your child(ren) there. Thank you for your understanding.

The Oregon Department of Education today released the At-A-Glance School and District Profiles for the 2022-23 school year. You can review the profile for Deer Creek Elementary on the TTSD website.

If you need to make a change to your student's transportation or report an absence, please send an email to deercreekparent@ttsd.k12.or.us. The deercreekparent email account has been set up for emails only from parents/guardians and are easily seen for updates. Please do not use the deercreekoffice or dcoffice email address because information can get easily missed. Thank you for your help with this!

As shared on all our menus, the menu is subject to change and determined by what products we are able to get from our vendors. We are currently experiencing the following challenges:

• There is a shortage of chocolate milk due to a manufacturing issue with the milk cartons.
• The cafeterias are also still experiencing some supply chain issues due to manufacturing shortages, and food industry transportation, and delivery challenges.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience, understanding, and partnership in nourishing our students.

The TTSD Equity and Inclusion Department was awarded the 21st Century Grant for Community Learning Centers, and they are expanding their reach and dream to provide equitable programming to students and families furthest from justice! They are excited to expand their partnership with REAP!

Volunteer process:

We are very fortunate to have wonderful community members and families who 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.

Background checks:
We are very busy with background checks for new hires and volunteers. Please get your volunteer applications submitted sooner than later so you are approved for activities throughout the year. Volunteer applications are good for 3 years, this includes the background check and the training.

Covid Vaccine Cards are no longer required!

Below are flyers for extra curricular activities that are available for your kids. You can also click on this link to see all of the flyers on the district page.
