TITANS GO FAR - PBIS
At Palo Verde High Magnet School, Titans GO FAR! We are FOCUSED, ACCOUNTABLE, and RESPECTFUL! During the year, you may be caught practicing one of these important behaviors and will earn points to shop in our PBIS Store. Mr. Riley has been working to restock our PBIS store. Our Titans are learning that following the PBIS Expectations will reward them! The digital PBIS reward points system allows students to use their points to purchase items in the PBIS student store. This program will continue to help build community and promote positive behaviors on our campus. Behaviors like these will follow our students and allow them to succeed in the world. Please review the Go Far Matrix below so you fully understand what our expectations are for the year.

Students are not allowed in the buildings during lunchtime. Please remain in the courtyard area or the cafeteria. In addition, no food is allowed to be delivered to campus during school hours. We are a CLOSED campus, so you are not allowed to leave during lunch.
CAMPUS
Students, please help us keep our campus clean by throwing your trash in the garbage cans after you eat your breakfast and lunch. Thank you.
ATTENDANCE
As a reminder, attendance is super important in order to earn good grades, so keep going to your classes, and communicate with your teacher(s) if you have to be absent.
TARDIES
We have a 5-minute passing period between each class. You will hear a short bell ringing when there is one minute remaining in passing period. It is our expectation that you arrive to each class on time. The one-minute warning bell serves as a notice to you that you should be almost to your next class, please do not wait till the tardy bell to go to class!
