Box Top Logo 

Calling all TPCA Families to win the competition against Flagstaff.

 

Collect and turn in your Box Tops for Education to support TPCA.  Contact your friends, families and coworkers to see if they will help you collect.  The school that collects the most Box Tops by the May 4th will get a treat from the opposing school.

 

To win a popcorn party for your class, turn your Box Tops in by February 18th.  All Box Tops turned in count towards both contests.

  

Also, over 175 retailers give eBoxTops to your school when you shop online. Click on this link to earn even more points for TPCA.

Tips

  

NEW: As the part of the district's upgrade to change from IC.stvrain.k12.co.us to IC.svvsd.org, a security certificate was installed. If anyone has a bookmark to the old address, a security certificate error will appear in their browser.  Please update the bookmark to the new address: https://ic.svvsd.org

You can also connect to IC through the link provided on the TPCA website.

 

Many parents have been calling in to say that either they or their student cannot access Infinite

Campus. Here are some things to consider:

 

1) Are you using the correct username and password? If you try to log in three times, your

account will automatically be disabled. Please write down your username and password and leave it in a safe place. If you have lost it, please contact Beverly Weinberg. 

 

2) Do you have any outstanding fees? Contact Michele Mansanares in the business/finance

office to find out if this is why your IC is disabled, and to set up payment options. 

 

3) If #1 and #2 are not the issue, please contact Beverly Weinberg. She will need to contact the

district to remedy the problem. 

 

IC is not a planner so it won't show future assignments. All elementary and middle school

students received planners in August (or when they enrolled), and high school students have the

option to purchase planners. Please encourage and work with your child to use the planner to

track assignments.

Thank you.

Reserved Parking
Each month, we select three Volunteers of the Month.  One of the perks as Volunteer of the Month is that they are assigned one of the designated Reserved Parking spaces. Although it may be tempting to park in one of these spaces, we ask that you leave them open for the person whose name is on the sign.
