Fighting Lobos News and Events
Our students and staff are always working on something new. We love to share the latest events and happenings, so check back often for up-to-date news.
All Tolleson Union High School District schools are now accepting open enrollment for the upcoming school year. Please view and print out the open enrollment application and bring the completed form to the Tolleson Union High School District office between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. The address is 9801 W. Van Buren St., Tolleson, AZ 85353.
During this time of unprecedented closure, we have been called to be more flexible than ever before. Tolleson Union High School District (TUHSD) transitioned to online learning starting on March 19, 2020. Governor Ducey canceled school until the end of the school year and waived state assessments. Governor Ducey and State Superintendent Hoffman encourage schools to continue to instruct students. TUHSD knows teachers will continue to provide quality instruction and students will continue to learn. It is our intent to hold teachers, students, and staff harmless during this emergency.
Schools play a critical role in our community, especially in this time of uncertainty. Learning during this fourth quarter gives each student the consistency and intellectual growth that they need and expect from their local school. We feel that continuing our educational mission of teaching every day and providing the best education possible is critically important. We are asking our community to expect all young adults to continue their learning to the best of their ability during this public health emergency. Please continue to expect learning for the children in your home, and take care of yourself during this time.
The assignments offered to the end of the year are learning opportunities to improve the quarter three grades, which we will post at the end of the school year. If a student was not passing at the end of the third quarter, they can improve their grade now. We sincerely hope that during the summer we can offer academic intervention to support our students while remaining in accordance with public health guidelines.
