Attendance
Let’s stay in touch!
Be sure to let us know if your student needs to be absent:
Attendance Line 503-431-4720 or
Main Office 503-431-4700
Email WoodwardAttendance@ttsd.k12.or.us
TTSD elementary schools use an absence calling system. If you have not called the school by 8:40 AM to report your child's absence, the system will begin calling and emailing parents and guardians. This system is a step to ensure student safety.
Please remember to call the attendance line or the main office each day that your child is absent or late to school. You may also email the office at WoodwardAttendance@ttsd.k12.or.us with your absence message.
If you call us first, you will not receive an automated call. We will know right away that your child is safe at home with you!
Three reasons why attendance matters
- Students feel stressed when they miss instruction or fall behind on work due to absences.
- Lower achievement can result from irregular attendance, affecting test scores and grades.
- Routine and consistency of daily attendance help students feel connected to their community.
