Message From Principal Danzy:
It has been an amazing beginning of the school year. We would like to thank all of you for your patience with enrolling and registering students. We have a record number of students to enroll at Vista Grande High School this year, it has been exciting to see the excitement of all the students and staff.
We have a major change coming in the near future for parent pick up and drop off of students. We will have a plethora of announcements as well as meetings scheduled to discuss this change.
We will also be disseminating new procedures for all home sporting events. Please be on the lookout for that on our various social media platforms as well.
Student Highlight: ALL Vista Grande High School Students
Last week we had two back-to-back fire alarms go off during lunch and the passing period when students were returning to class from lunch. Our students followed all directives given by administration's to clear campus despite the unknown of where they were originally supposed to go this was amazing and a testament to the students and staff.
Staff highlight: Heather DeMartino
Mrs. DeMartino sent a very "subtle" message to me that we need to help assist at one of our bus pick up and drop-offs. I replied thank you for volunteering, she didn't hesitate saying..give me a vest and I will do it. Please see the below picture!!!!!! You are amazing.
Announcements:
DRESS FOR SUCCESS POLICY (REF: BOARD POLICY - JIC © STUDENT CONDUCT, JICA © STUDENT DRESS, JICA-R ©) CGUHSD schools pride themselves on providing a safe, orderly, and respectful environment in which students are challenged to achieve at high academic levels and demonstrate the essence of good character and good citizenship. The expectation is that every student and staff member will take pride in our schools and our community. A student shall not prevent a teacher from teaching or prevent another student from learning and shall not engage in any type of inappropriate behavior that disrupts one’s own education or the education of others. The faculty and administration of CGUHSD recognize the rights of students to express their individuality through attire. They also recognize the rights and responsibilities of a parent/guardian to determine the standards of dress for their student. However, Arizona law and district policy provide a safe, positive school campus that is conducive to learning. Appropriate dress is critical to this effort. School pride, morale, and image are influenced by the general appearance of students.
