PTA General Assembly Meeting
CEC: Returning Student Registration for the 22/23 School Year
ALL students returning to TVUSD for the 2022/2023 school year are required to fill out the Returning Student Registration packet in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal.
This is a MANDATORY process for all returning students. Any student who does not have a completed returning student registration packet in IC will not have access to a school schedule or classroom placement for the 22/23 school year.
Please note, if a family has current TVUSD students and would like to add a new, non-TVUSD sibling to their returning student registration packet, they cannot. Any new student to TVUSD, TK-12, must be enrolled through CEC. That is a separate process. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to CEC for support. Thank you!
TK and K Enrollment for next school year is coming soon!

TVUSD Facilities Survey
The Temecula Valley Unified School District is in the process of developing a district-wide facilities master plan. The intent of this endeavor is to define the District’s facilities needs for the next ten years. We are seeking input from you to help us determine what is important to our community. The District’s master plan Core Planning Group, in association with DLR Group Architects, has developed the following list of items for consideration based on-site visits, input from campus representations, and input from community meetings. We value your input.
This video featuring Dr. Jodi McClay will explain the Facility Master Plan process. https://vimeo.com/686561182/0d68b7e48f Please take this opportunity to share your opinion with us.
Thrivers ~ Perseverance
During the month of May, we are learning about the Thriver trait of Optimism.
In her book Thrivers, Michele Borba shares that we must show kids how to stand up for themselves. "Not to be able to stand up for yourself can make a child feel helpless, start a dangerous spiral of pessimism, and increase stree, anxiety, and feelings of emptiness.
Teach your child to be CALM. Introduce, teach and practice these 4 steps to help them stand up for themselves.
Part 1: C= Chill. Model for and teach your child to "chill." When you are upset, you must remain calm, or no one will listen to you or take you seriously. Teach them calm down strategies such as walking away, taking deep breaths or counting to 10.
Part 2: A=Assert. Teach your child how to assert themselves to be their own self advocate. Help them develop language that they can use in difficult situations like: "That wasn't very nice," "Please don't do that," "I don't want to." Teach your child how to say NO and express how they feel. Teach them to use "I" and "because." For example, "I want you to stop teasing me because it hurts my feelings."
Part 3: L= Look Strong! Body language can be a powerful tool when you are trying to be assertive. Teach your child to stand tall with their head high. Look people in they eye when you are talking to them. Pull your shoulders down and stand up straight. Hold your arms to you side, keep your hands out of your pockets. Stand with your feet planted firmly on the ground about twelve inches apart.
Part 4: M= Mean it! When kids are intimidated or nervous they may use a timid or yelling tone. When asserting themselves they need to make their voices strong. Practice making assertive statement using a strong voice with your child! Practiceing will help them feel confident in "meaning it" when they need to.
Next week, we will share more tips from Dr. Borba's book, Thrivers.
Safety at Arrival and Dismissal ~ additional considerations
When using the loop to pick up or drop off your child by car, PLEASE
- Please do not use the parking lot as an additional pick-up line. This blocks access to parking spaces, including handicap spots. If there is not an open parking spot, please pull through and go around again to look for an opening or join the loop pick up line.
- Please stay in your car when using the loop. Should you need to get out of the car to assist your child, please plan to park in the lot and walk them to their gate.
- Please move all the way forward as directed by the school staff.
- Please do not wait until your child reaches the gate to pull away. Staying in the loop and watching your child walk into the gate, slows the flow of traffic. If you would like to watch your child enter the gate, please park your car and walk your child.
- At dismissal, please do not stop in the loop and wait for your child to come your direction when there is space to pull forward. Instead, pull all the way forward and continue to move forward with the traffic. Your child will walk down towards you.
We appreciate your continued cooperation and patience.
