High School students parents please do not park in the TOYBOX parking or pull up to the curb near the TOYBOX gate to drop off or pick up your high school students. TOYBOX parking is only for TOYBOX preschool families. Please drop off & pick up your high school student in the parking lot north of the school.

1. Do NOT drop off/ pick up in front of the administration building. Only TOY BOX and special needs may drop off/ pick up in front of the administration building.

2. Park in designated parking spaces when:

a) unloading large items from your vehicle

b) changing drivers

3. Watch for students walking between vehicles.

4. Do NOT drop off students on the roadway or curb.

5. Lastly, after school starts, we will lock the gates to the west parking lot which will make the west lot inaccessible off Germann Road and Coyote Drive during school hours. We will unlock the gates before the end of the school day so students can exit to Germann Road and Coyote Drive.

All traffic after the start of school and up until the end of the school day must enter off Quartz Street. Drop off and pick up should take place during school hours at the front office and students should check in with attendance.

This adjustment will allow us to provide concentrated oversight by our safety and security staff to provide better coverage throughout the entire campus. While this change will not impact the vast majority of our parents, students, and staff on a daily basis, at some point it will be impactful when you need to drop off or pick up outside of your normal schedule.

We appreciate your support!

Class of 2024!

The first step of your senior journey is to have your portrait taken for the yearbook. The yearbook's deadline for senior pictures is November 22nd. In order to meet this deadline, we have partnered with Southwest Portraits in Tempe, AZ to take your yearbook photos.

There are two options: Please read through this letter completely for details and choose the option that works best for you.

OPTION 1

Schedule an online appointment with Southwest Portraits to have your portrait taken at their Tempe studio located at 5450 S Lakeshore Dr. Suite 108, Tempe, AZ 85283 before the September deadline.

Key Information about Option 1: Final scheduling date for studio session BEFORE November 22nd to meet the yearbook deadline.

• Senior Portraits can be taken at the Southwest Photography Studio by calling 480-222-1199 to set an appointment. We had an error with the mailers, however, appointments can still be made by calling.

• It is recommended that Seniors bring their own clothing. However, if necessary, the studio will provide loaner jackets, ties, and drapes as needed.
• All studio services beyond the sitting (scheduling, ordering pictures, and paying fees) will be conducted online.
• The Yearbook portrait sessions will include 9-14 headshots on blue/brown tone background to select one for the yearbook.
• A deluxe session is offered with up to three outfits, including the yearbook outfit, inside and outside in each outfit.
  
• Portraits will be shown immediately after the session for the students/parents to choose the yearbook portrait and see available options (choosing the yearbook pose, ordering photos, and any additional payment.)

OPTION 2

The final chance to take photos on campus is September 6th in the auditorium lobby. This is also our re-take/makeup day.

Big news! Our library has been updated and it is more functional and beautiful than ever! The space is perfect for students to work on homework, study, check out books, and print assignments. Students are welcome in the library during the lunch hours, before school, and after school.

Chromebook Information:

If a student is having problems with his/her Chromebook, the place to go is the library. We will put it in for repair and give the student a loaner Chromebook until the original is fixed. Most problems are a simple fix and don’t involve a fee or use of insurance.

Campo Verde continues to be a certified Common Sense SCHOOL. We train our teachers in digital citizenship and throughout every school year we teach our students various lessons during Coyote Time.
