It’s a busy time of year for Rosa Velazquez
and the AVID students. Just as our juniors
and seniors are getting ready to fly, here come
the 8th graders.
Last month, 25 AVID students field tripped
down to the NACAC College Fair at the San
Diego Convention Center to collect literature
and speak with representatives from over 100
schools nationwide. “This is a great opportunity
for these kids to be exposed to schools and
programs from across the country,” states
Velazquez.

After the college fair downtown, the students
toured the SDSU campus.
Back at TPHS, the AVID classes welcomed 20
EWMS 8th graders to campus. These are
students who are enrolled in a college
readiness pathway and who truly benefit from
the mentoring of our current AVID students.
They visited several departments and
classrooms campus wide while competing with
other teams in a themed scavenger hunt which
helps them get excited for high school while
getting familiar with campus.

AVID & Teacher Lunch photos AVID is a SUPPORT ALL STUDENTS
program funded by parent and community
donations through the TPHS Foundation. This
program assists low income students, Falcons
who are often the first in their families to attend
college, as well as B and C students in the
middle who need additional support and/or
tutoring throughout the school day.
“It is great to see my students in a college
environment knowing they have the confidence
and skill set necessary to succeed there”,
beams Velazquez. “Programs like AVID really
open doors for so many young adults at TPHS
and beyond.”

discount for Grad Nite expires on May 31st.
This event and the graduation leis will sell out.
Don’t let your graduate miss
out on this once in a lifetime
event! Last day to register is
June 9.
Studies have shown that postgraduation events like this save
lives by providing a fun and
safe alternative to other celebrations. There
will be food, games, music and entertainment
and wonderful memories are made.
High school graduation is statistically a
dangerous night and attending a chaperoned
all-night event keeps kids safer than if they
were out and about for the night on their own.
This is a chaperoned alcohol free and drug
free event organized by the TPHS Foundation
and will be held at a nearby
San Diego facility.
WE STILL NEED PARENT
VOLUNTEERS for this event.
If you would like to help with
graduate check in at the TPHS
gym or would like to attend the
event as an all-night chaperone, email
[email protected] or call the office at
(858) 793– 3551 to sign up!
Thank you in advance for your support and
participation in this fun and worthwhile night!

TPHS ATHLETIC PHYSICALS NIGHT
TPHS will hold the annual Athletic Physicals Night on
Thursday, June 2nd in Building B from 5:30 to 7:30 PM.
ALL Torrey Pines athletes for ALL
TPHS sports for the 2016-17 school
year are invited to attend.
“This night is offered as a convenience
to our Falcon families and is a great
opportunity to obtain a low cost
physical and get the necessary
paperwork out of the way long before
next year’s season deadlines,” states
Christina Scherr, TPHS Athletic
Trainer. “We bring in licensed medical
practitioners to evaluate our athletes to
make sure they can safely participate
in the wide range of sports TPHS has
to offer.”
For a $25 donation, students receive
an athletic physical by a physician and
can turn in their forms at the same
time. Proceeds from the evening benefit the TPHS
General Athletic Fund which supports facilities, staffing,
administrative and other needs in Athletics as they arise
throughout the year.
“We are still in need of both licensed medical and nonmedical volunteers to help with evaluations, paperwork,
crowd control, and directing students to
make the evening run efficiently and
smoothly,” continues Scherr. “Physicals
Night is a fast paced event and it is
always fun to see so many of our great
student athletes on campus.”
Anyone who is able to help should
contact Holly Coughlin, TPHS Volunteer
Coordinator, in the Foundation office at
[email protected] or call the
office at 858.794.3551 to sign up.
Please visit www.tphs.net PRIOR TO
JUNE 2ND and click on the Athletics tab
to complete online clearance and
download and print the Physical Exam
form. Be sure to thoroughly read over
and complete all applicable sections
before heading over that night and be
certain ALL the forms are signed by a parent or guardian
where indicated.
Bring the completed forms and $25 cash or check made
out to TPHSF with you.
