Friday Fun Day Squad!
 

FRIDAY FUN-DAY VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Anyone want to help out on campus Fridays from 12-1pm?

We'd love to have you!

Every Friday we will be asking two parent volunteers to check-out play equipment to our students.

There is a cart located in the closet behind the quad stage. Once you have the cart, simply roll it out and offer the equipment to the students. They will hand you their student ID in exchange for the equipment, and hand the equipment back in to retrieve their ID. Super Simple!

An umbrella and chairs will be provided for your comfort. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have at (714) 350-0967.

The kids are super excited about this and we all GREATLY APPRECIATE your help!

Please Participate: Speak Up



Please support TUSD by taking this brief survey:

Thank you!

  • Showing improvement in grades
  • Demonstrating a positive attitude/mindset
  • Being responsible with schoolwork, school involvement, showing school spirit (participating in activities and dress-up days)
 
Use : R cards can be used in a variety of ways:
  • Purchase treats/Hewes gear/toys at the PBIS Store every day at lunch
  • Enter into the monthly school--wide drawings (pizza party w/ friends, Hewes gear, gift cards, etc.)
  • Purchase food items during school-wide events
 
Bands 
 

 
What : Students can earn a band for consistently displaying Respect, Responsibility, and Results. Once a month, teachers recognize one student per class

  • Showing improvement in grades
  • Demonstrating a positive attitude/mindset
  • Being responsible with school work, school involvement, showing school spirit (participating  inactivities and dress-up days)
Use : Bands earn students many privileges including, but not limited
