February 2024

Grijalva Family and Friends

Happy February Grizzlies!

February may be the shortest month, but our days are full! Mark your calendars now as February 8th and 9th are parent-teacher conference days. School will dismiss at 10:40am. Breakfast and lunch will still be served. Conferences will only be held for some students; it will not be for all students. However, if you would like to request a conference with your child's teacher, please reach out to the teacher to request one. Also, there will be no school on February 22nd and 23rd for Rodeo Break!

Attendance is vital. There is a direct connection between attendance and success in the classroom. When students are not at school, they are missing instruction. Therefore, students need to be at school every day when they are not sick. Please make sure to call your child’s absence in when they will be out for the day (520-908-3600).

Cell Phone Reminders: We have noticed more students are bringing cell phones to school. We want to remind everyone of governing board regulations JICJ-R and JICJ. Students are not permitted to use cell phones from bell to bell while on district property. If you need to get a message to your student during the school day please call the office at 520-908-3600 and we will relay the message for you. In order for students to focus on learning, Tucson Unified School District tries to minimize distractions and interruptions to all instructional time. All students are required to adhere to the following guidelines regarding cell phones and other electronic signaling devices. Cell phones and electronic signaling devices may be used on or off campus before or after school. Cell phones and electronic signaling devices may NOT be used during instructional classroom time. The School District nor the School District Staff is responsible for loss, damage, or theft of any electronic device including but not limited to cell phones, laptops, tablet computers, portable media player brought to school.

Morning Schedule: The first bell rings at 7:40 and our teachers take attendance precisely at 7:45. Students arriving after 7:45 should check in with the office staff before going to class. For the safety of your child, please do not arrive prior to 7:20, the cafeteria breakfast and our playground do not have student supervision prior to 7:20.

Registration: 2024-2025 registration is now open on ParentVUE! Yearly registration confirms that Grijalva has the most up-to-date information for your child’s success in school. Parents must re-register for the upcoming school year! Please go to ParentVUE and enroll for 2024-2025! Remember we need you to attach your proof of residency and any documents that are required for registration. Please call the office if you need assistance accessing your ParentVUE account, 520-908-3600.

Tax Credit: Don’t forget to make your tax credit contribution to Grijalva! Tax credit dollars fund academic programs, sports, fine arts, field trips, tutoring, and for a short time capital school improvements. We are very thankful and appreciative of your tax credit support. You can still donate for 2023.
