Happy New Year !
Year End Giving ... One way to support the Tanque Verde Unified School District is to make a donation to one of our schools or eligible programs by way of an Arizona Tax Credit for Public Schools.
https://www.tanqueverdeschools.org/page/tax-credit-donation
Arizona law provides a "dollar-for-dollar" tax credit to the taxpayer when they make a Tax Credit donation to a public school to support extracurricular activities or character education.
When making a Tax Credit donation, the taxpayer designates where a portion of their tax dollars are spent, and those tax dollars will go DIRECTLY to the TVUSD school and/or program selected.
Thank you for your support !

The PSAT is coming up on October 30th! 9th-11th graders who signed up to take the exam will be testing all morning. We will not have classes during testing time (non-testers should not come to school until 12:10pm. There are three options for families to choose from between 12:10-3:15pm:
OPTION 1: Students can sign up to volunteer as part of our annual Community Connection event at Agua Caliente Elementary. Students who did not test in the morning will arrive between 12:10-12:30 (12:10 if they want lunch). Testers who are already on campus will be able to eat and walk over to volunteer with this group! Have your student sign up for this option here
OPTION 2: Students can have a study hall in the MPR from 12:10-3:15pm
OPTION 3: Parents can excuse the absence and keep their child at home. (pro tip: You can put in this absence ahead of time on the parentvue app) See the flyer below for how to do this.
