K-5 Science Curriculum Community Presentation

The Tigard-Tualatin School District held a community presentation on January 22, 2026, to discuss the adoption of a new K-5 science curriculum. The meeting detailed the district's comprehensive adoption process, which involved a committee of board members, teachers, parents, and specialists reviewing and aligning materials with state standards. The committee evaluated several science curriculum options and ultimately recommended Mystery Science for board approval. The presentation included an overview of Mystery Science's features, such as standards alignment, hands-on activities, Spanish language support, and an optional anchor layer for deeper learning. While the meeting focused on curriculum content and instructional strategies, it also touched on resource availability, including printable materials for teachers. No specific contract awards, budget allocations, or procurement decisions were explicitly discussed during the presentation.
