TUSD Equity, Diversity, and Inclusiveness Summit 2023
Sabino High School had the honor of hosting the 2nd annual Equity, Diversity, and Inclusiveness Summit on October 19th! This conference provided an inclusive space where students learned about leadership, college and career readiness, and community involvement. Students even participated in masterclasses and sessions lead by national and local speakers on a variety of topics including leadership, inclusivity and how to discover their passion, and voice. There was awesome energy on campus thanks to the musical performers we had as well. At the end of the summit, three lucky students even received a $500 check to use towards their entrepreneurial goals!
PBIS Rewards
The students of Sabino are learning that following PBIS Expectations Matrix will reward them! We are launching a digital PBIS system which will allow students to use their earned points to purchase items like Apple AirPods, a Keurig Coffee Maker, a TV, snacks, drinks and so much more from the school's PBIS store!
INTERSCHOLASTICS
Winter Sports are Under Way!
Please visit our calendar for dates and events. Our athletes love to see supporters in the stands!
Spring Sports Begin on February 5th. If your student plans on playing sports this year, they must have the athletic pack emailed or brought into the Activities Office before the start date! If the packet is not received by that date, they will not be able to practice or participate.
In this packet, there are instructions on how to complete the ATS online profile, which needs to be done every year by every student.
Also in the packet are the instructions on how to complete the BrainBook. This only needs to be completed once and will not be required year after year.
Click Here to download the packet. You may fill it out and email it to Bert Carrillo or you may bring it directly to the Activities Office. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Bert Carrillo at 520-584-7707. LETS GO SABERCATS!
