Student of the Quarter and Honor Roll
We are so proud of our Titans who were nominated to be Student of The Quarter for the first quarter, and those who made Honor Roll from last semester! Teachers each selected one student from this quarter who they believed best exemplified any (or all) of the criteria listed below:
• Maintaining good academic standing in your class
• Being punctual and attend class on a regular basis
• Being optimistic and show positive persistence
• Demonstrating maturity and ability to get along with others
• Behaving in and out of the classroom
• Being a positive role model for his/her peers
• Demonstrating school spirit
• Volunteering in the school or the community
We held our first Student of The Quarter and Honor Roll Ceremony of the year at the end of September and here are some of our students who attended. Congratulations to all of our Titans who received an invitation to attend. Way to be 212 and Go The Extra Degree!

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.

THE SCHOOL YEAR IS IN FULL SWING!
Our Titans are doing a great job as we are now in the second quarter of the school year. Overall, rules and procedures are being followed and we are proud of you! Here are some reminders:
LUNCH TIME
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!
ATHLETIC PASSES
Get your home fall season athletic passes today in the Finance Office. The revenue generated from the sale of these passes support Palo Verde athletics 100% instead of being split with the district. An added bonus is, it saves you money over the course of the fall season. Attending all our home football games varsity and frosh normally would cost $50, and with volleyball it’s $55.
Season passes only cost:
$30 for a single person
$60 for two people
$90 for a family of three
$120 for a family of four
Purchases can be made in the Finance Office at the front of the school, or contact: veronica.verdugo@tusd1.org for more information.
