August 3, 2026 Due to the forecasted excessive heat for tomorrow, Tuesday, August 4, through Wednesday, August 5, we will monitor activities on TTSD properties. We recommend following OSAA guidelines, including the  Heat Index Calculator ,  to monitor the temperatures on turf fields, playgrounds, and tracks.  TTSD will close turf fields if temperatures reach 95 degrees or higher.  All students scheduled for outdoor training or practice during this time should check in with their coaches for any cancellations or schedule changes. It's important to note that temperatures on our turf fields, tracks, and playgrounds with rubber surfaces can be significantly hotter than the outdoor temperature, often reaching between 124 and 150 degrees. As a precaution, the District strongly advises the community to avoid these areas when temperatures are higher than normal.
