Every year we ask our TVUSD families to complete a brief survey. The survey assists the Governing Board and District/Site Leaders as we strive to continue to provide high quality, rigorous learning experiences, which meet the needs of all our learners, and prepare students for college and career readiness.

The State of California vision/hearing screening is to be done in kindergarten, second grade, fifth grade, and eighth grade, as well as upon referral at any grade level. (California Code of Regulations, Title 17, Section 2952 (c)(1)) . The District is required to conduct vision and hearing screenings unless the parent refuses to consent and has a current written objection on file. Paloma Kinder, 2nd grade, and 5th grade classes will be participating in a hearing and vision screening the week of 10/26/26. If you would like to opt out, please email jluz@tvusd.us no later than 10/25/26. If you have additional questions, please refer your questions to the Paloma Health office: jluz@tvusd.us

New Visitor Sign-In System - Raptor is Here!

We’re excited to share that we now have a brand-new sign-in system in our main office using the Raptor application! For the most part, the system works just like our previous visitor management system — only better. One great new feature is the ability to create your own Raptor Passport for a faster, more streamlined sign-in experience.

Here’s how to get started:

1. Download the Raptor Safe app on your smartphone.
2. Scan the QR code (located in the main office) to begin creating your Raptor Passport.
3. Complete the setup process in the app.

Once your Raptor Passport is created, you’ll be able to check in using just your cellphone — no ID required!

We encourage everyone who frequently visits our building to set up their Raptor Passport in advance to make future check-ins quick and easy.
