Tip of the week
There are just a few more weeks left before finals. Seniors who are in danger of failing courses and thereby jeopardizing graduation and/or A-G eligibility have been notified and communicated with by counselors. We encourage ALL students to maximize the time they have left to pull up their grades and finish strong. Don’t forget that colleges require a final transcript at the end of the school year!
College Decision Day
College Decision Day: All Seniors are invited to our annual College Decision Day Celebration to be held in the Tiller Plaza from 12:30 to 2:30 PM on Friday, April 30th! Join us for an opportunity drawing, surprises, music, and pictures. Don’t forget to wear your #accepted or #enlisted shirts! We will also have your purchased or borrowed caps and gowns, Jostens merchandise, and your free yard sign ready for you to pick up! Make sure you have taken care of any financial or Library obligations at the Student Store prior to this day. Jostens will be available for students to purchase their caps and gowns for $40 -cash only. There will be a limited quantity of caps and gowns available to borrow. We’re looking forward to celebrating our Class of 2021. Let’s finish strong and go Tillers!

Summer School 2021
Do you have a D or an F you need to make up? Are you behind in credits? TUSD is offering 2 forms of summer school: at THS, which starts Session 1-June 1-June 16 and 2nd session is June 17-July 2 and PCHS which goes from July 1-August 10. It is very important that you make up classes that you failed to stay on track for graduation. Students needing summer school should talk with their counselor as there are different options for remediation. Only students who have confirmed spots for summer school will be attending this year. There will be no walk-ins accepted during summer school sessions. PCHS summer school registration packets are available in the counseling office and must be returned by May 14. If you have questions, please contact your counselor.
