On May 13th, Dollars for Scholars held their Community Awards Scholarship Ceremony at the Golden Bear Theater at TVHS. Check out some of the pictures that were taken at the event. Congratulations to all of our scholarship recipients!

In April, we shared an inspirational story about TVHS alumni Kelsie Whitmore being the inspiration for a new video game, "MLB: The Show," the first of its kind to introduce female players. Check out the link below to see what's happening with Kelsie, as she became the first woman to start a game in baseball league history in June.

The TVUSD Community High Five Program is designed to empower and encourage the community to acknowledge and appreciate the dedicated employees of the district. This program serves as a platform for parents, students, and local residents, to recognize and celebrate the relentless commitment and hard work put forth by district employees.

Whether it's the passionate educators who shape the future of our children, the diligent administrative staff who keep the educational machinery running smoothly, or the unsung heroes who contribute to the district in various ways, the TVUSD Community High Five Program provides a means to express gratitude and support for their unwavering dedication to the educational well-being of the community. Through this program, TVUSD fosters a sense of unity and appreciation, strengthening the bond between the district and the community it serves.

Fill out this quick form and the Communications Department will create and send a digital certificate to the employee for their hard work. As an added recognition, one employee will be selected each month as a "Community High Five Spotlight" and their shout-out will be recognized in a future edition of the Community Connection.

Dear TVUSD Parents and Guardians,

State law requires the Governing Board to notify the parent(s) or guardian(s) of minor pupils enrolled in Temecula Valley Unified School District ("District') schools of the legal rights and responsibilities pertaining to their child(ren)'s education. The Governing Board recognizes that the District is responsible for ensuring that it complies with State and Federal Laws and regulations governing educational programs. The District is required to give annual notification to parents and guardians regarding certain portions of the instructional program and matters related to school administration.

Each parent or guardian is required to sign that you have been informed of your rights. Your signature is an acknowledgment that you have been informed of your rights; it does not give consent for your child or ward to participate in any activity or program in the schools.

Some legislation requires additional notification to the parents or guardians during the school term prior to a specific activity. A separate letter will be sent to the parents or guardians prior to any of these specified activities or classes. Other legislation grants certain rights that are spelled out in this Annual Notification.

The Governing Board encourages each parent and guardian to read and know their rights under the laws governing the education of their children. The District and its Governing Board recognize that parent or guardian involvement in their child's education promotes student achievement and contributes greatly to the student's success. Parents or guardians are urged to fully exercise their rights according to the laws that are explained in this Annual Notification. If you have questions or concerns, please contact the principal of your child's school.

Temecula Valley Unified School District announced it will operate the Community Eligibility Program (CEP) under the National School Lunch I School Breakfast Programs for the 2024-2025 school year. Schools qualifying to operate CEP serve breakfast and lunch to all children at no charge and eliminate the collection of meal applications for free, reduced-price, and paid student meals. This new approach reduces the burdens for both families and school administrators and helps ensure that students receive nutritious meals.

The online bus pass application for the 2024/2025 school year is now available! Please be aware of the following:

• Your student must be enrolled for the 2024/2025 school year prior to completing the online application.
• If your student is new to our district, you will need to attach a photo.
• If you are applying for free or reduced fare, you will need to attach a document from the list of acceptable income verification documents.

For all questions regarding bus passes and online registration, please visit https://www.tvusd.k12.ca.us/buspassregistration or call (951)506-7008.

FOR THE FOLLOWING SCHOOLS:

The construction of TVUSD's new Athletic Facility at Chaparral High School is zooming ahead! The steel structure is nearly done, and we’re aiming to have the roof up by the end of August, beating the rainy season. Inside, walls are already rising, and all the trades are working at full throttle. Power is flowing into the building, and underground work is wrapping up. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to ELEVATE our students' success and take it to the next level!

Phase three of Summit construction is in full swing! The middle school locker room is on track to open at the end of September. We anticipate a short move-in time and will fully occupy the facility by early October. We are also on track to open another instructional building with nine classrooms and collaborative space. This building is slated to open August 2025/26, simultaneous to adding 8th grade.

It is now time to complete your Annual Family Update in your Infinite Campus Parent Portal. This update is REQUIRED FOR ALL STUDENTS RETURNING TO TVUSD FOR THE 24/25 SCHOOL YEAR.

Any student who does not have a completed Annual Update:

• may not be enrolled in a class for the 24/25 school year
• may not receive a schedule
• and may not be able to participate in school business days in August.

It is imperative that all families complete the Annual Family Update as soon as possible to prevent any delay in your child's enrollment for this school year.
