PICKING YOUR SEAT (5/21 @ 8AM)
This special tradition at TV gives the seniors a chance to choose who they would like to sit with during the graduation ceremony. On Tuesday, May 21 at 8AM we are meeting in the Mini-Gym to complete this short process. It'll take about 15-minutes to review a bit of information and then have the seniors get together with your crew and decide on what order you'll sit in. This is the day to pick your seats. If you can't be there for some reason, ensure that a friend grabs your card and places you in the right spot. ** Your seat is ONLY guaranteed if you attend on the morning of Tuesday, May 21.

SENIOR KNOTT'S TRIP BUSES
On May 20 the Seniors are headed to Knott's Berry Farm. If you're attending, you're going to want to complete the bus sign-up right HERE. Talk to your crew and get your names on the the bus of your choice. Also, ensure that your parent/guardian has completed the required PERMISSION SLIP.
COMMITMENT SIGNING SIGN-UP
In May we'll be honoring all of our Seniors who have committed to their future at our Commitment Signing Ceremony. Let us know what your plans are right HERE in order to be a part of this awesome event.
PRE-GRADUATION SENIOR SLIDESHOW
Seniors, get your photo on the big screen in the stadium before the ceremony begins. We're asking parents to submit a current senior photo AND a kindergarten photo right HERE. We'll put them together and pop them up on the jumbotron just before 6PM on June 6. We're so excited to feature so many members of the Class of 2024.
WALK OF GRATITUDE (6/3)
On Monday, June 3 we're taking our graduates to our feeder middle schools and elementary schools. Each bus will first visit Margarita Middle School or Temecula Middle School and then they'll head to one of our local elementary schools. You choose which trip you want to go on. It's first-come, first-serve though.
You'll need to have a parent/guardian complete the online permission slip in addition to signing up for the bus of your choice. Meet at the TVHS Bus Loop at 9:30AM right after 1st Period on that Monday. We'll return by 11:30AM. And of course, wear your cap and gown. You're a role model for our future Golden Bears.
What if you didn't attend any of these schools or any of these combinations?
You'll love it anyways. We promise. Part of the event is seeing a past teacher or walking back through your campus, but even more than that is the opportunity to be that role model and to feel the admiration of future Golden Bears. It's awesome visiting the middle schools and it's equally amazing walking through the elementary schools with the students and staff cheering for you. Honestly, it's fun going going back, but you'll love the experience regardless. So, just pick one of the combos below and get ready for a wonderful memory.
