We are excited about the new books being added to our school library collections. New collection lists will be posted each quarter and may be viewed by clicking on the image below. 

In compliance with policy 5-207 Curriculum Adoption and ARS 15-721, textbooks will be placed on display, either physically in the District or school offices or digital copies available online, for a period of at least sixty (60) days prior to the meeting at which the Board will consider their adoption.  At the end of the public review process, the district will bring a book back to the board for approval along with any feedback received during the review window.

The district is proposing the adoption of curriculum materials. Before making a decision on the adoption, a board vote and 60-day period for public review and comment are required.

A team of Agua Caliente Elementary and Tanque Verde Elementary science teachers, principals and assistant principals and the TVUSD Director of Teaching and Learning met several times to discuss and review potential vendors for kindergarten through sixth grade curriculum resources. Five choices were selected for review: Picture Perfect Stem, OpenSciEd, ASTA’s A Deeper Dive Units, Slooh, and McGraw-Hill

Samples of the resources are accessible online at the following links:

The Tanque Verde Unified School District will begin the process of destroying Special Education Records (including placement records, referral, evaluation, testing data and other related records) for students whose final enrollment was on or before May 23, 2019, Date of birth is 2001, Class of 2019. This destruction will begin in June of 2024.

On a periodic basis, personnel from the school district conduct a preschool screening at Tanque Verde Elementary School, 2600 N. Fennimore Ave., Tucson, AZ 85749 for children from birth through five years of age. The screening will be held on an appointment basis and a limited number of reservations will be made for each screening date.

The district will provide direct screening services for children who reside within its attendance boundaries.  Verification of district residency will be required.

Specifically, screening assistance will be provided in those areas which may require the child to receive special education services. The areas screened will be vision, hearing, cognitive abilities, motor skills, speech and language, as well as social and self-help skills.  We especially encourage participation by children under 3, as every effort is made to provide any needed services by the third birthday.

If, after the screening, there is reason to suspect a possible disability, information will be provided on infant/toddler services or further evaluation by the school district for 3-5 year-olds.

Parents of 0-5 year-old children who would like more information or who would like to make a screening appointment are asked to contact Student Services, Tiffany Hodge, Director of Student Services.
