The physical must be done after March 1 of the previous school year to be accepted for current school year. All of the clearance information needs to be done once per school year. All equipment issued for each sport your athlete competes in must be turned in before your athlete will be allowed to try out/ or be issued equipment for his/her new sport. Our Equipment Manager is Jim Snow, and he can be reached at 480.706.7931. Lost equipment must be paid for in the Thunder Bookstore, and the receipt taken to Jim Snow to be released for new sport, or for transcript release in the event the student withdraws from Desert Vista HS. The completed physical and clearance information is to be turned into the Thunder Athletics office before your student may be permitted to participate ANY sport on the Desert Vista HS campus. Please ensure that all of the steps in the checklist that is provided online on the Desert Vista School Fusion Page under the Athletics’ tab are completed. Once all steps are completed, your student athlete will be cleared for their sport. Without clearance, your student is NOT permitted to tryout out for his/her selected sport. If the student is not living with a natural parent, legal court appointed guardianship papers must be turned in with the physical and clearance information. Regarding academic eligibility, the student must be enrolled in and passing 5 credit earning classes. An audit class does not count as a credit class. Seniors who are on track to graduate may be enrolled in 4 credit earning classes to be eligible. Grades of “F”, incomplete, or audit are considered non passing grades and will render a student ineligible to participate in competition until an academic grade check that follows the Tempe Union High School District’s guidelines indicate that the student is passing all current classes is completed by the Athletics Office. Wednesdays are the only day that grade checks are permitted to be conducted per district policy. WELCOME TO THE ATHLETIC PROGRAM AT DESERT VISTA HIGH SCHOOL At Desert Vista High School, we feel that our Athletic programs are among the best in the state, and we also feel that once you get involved in the programs you will agree. Our coaching staff consists of highly qualified professional people who are available to provide the best opportunity possible for each and every student Athlete. We are especially proud of the good reputation we enjoy throughout the state, a reputation based not only on our win and loss record, but also by the manner in which our teams and team members conduct themselves on and off the field. This is a reputation that we intend to keep. In order to accomplish this, it is essential that our Athletes conduct themselves in a manner that will bring credit to their families, the program, and the school at all times. Athletes, remember that you are looked upon by most of our student body to provide good positive leadership. If you do, you will always be able to remember that you participated with pride.

  • Dear Desert Vista Family, Thank You
    “Excellence Through Performance” Dear Desert Vista Family, Thank you for sending and preparing your student(s) for AzMerit and Science AIMS! It has helped tremendously with the logistics of testing all of our students. Prom is coming up on Saturday, April 28th from 7:30pm-10:30pm (as required by the location) at The Venue in Scottsdale. It is a wonderful time to come together to enjoy music and dancing. Hard work, planning and preparation by our student body council members and teacher sponsors go into planning this memorable occasion for our students. In keeping with the high school tradition of having fun and embracing our safety first for all students, both during school hours and all extra-curricular activities, I would like to partner with you for the safety and well-being of our students. While planning this exciting event with your child, I ask that you keep in mind that party buses are popular for some students to take to and from dances, but please know that not all companies have our students’ best interest at heart and/or do not know the school and parent expectations for such events. I would like to recommend that each parent check the reputation of the company and driver, and discuss expectations with the driver when your child gets on the bus. We will request that all buses drop students off at the entrance to the dance whereby an administrator and security guard will coordinate the exit of the students off of the bus. Once parked, the administrator and security guard will search the bus.

  • In Keeping That in Mind, We Ask That All Seniors Leave Their Back Packs at Home on Friday, May 18Th
    “Excellence Through Performance” Dear Desert Vista Family, As we head into the home stretch, I want to take this opportunity to personally thank each and every senior student and their parent and/or guardian. The senior leadership has been strong and effective, and has positively impacted all of us here at Desert Vista. This year’s senior class expressed themselves amazingly, and displayed appropriate spirit and behavior at our assemblies, all of our extra-curricular activities including all dances, while on campus during the school day and within their classrooms. They worked tirelessly on their academic learning and preparation for their future. They treated each other with kindness and respect, and were concerned for others. Thank you for leaving such a strong legacy of what a senior leader should be on the Desert Vista High School campus! I wish you all the very best that life has to offer and please know that you all will be missed! Keeping that in mind and continuing with these last few days of school, we have some wonderful activities planned for our seniors and our desire is for all to enjoy. If you are a parent of a senior, I ask that you partner with us to encourage a strong finish until the end; both academically and behaviorally. We have had thoughtful, positive and impactful leadership from our seniors and expect them to finish strong! We ask that you talk to your senior and encourage good choices that follow district and school policies, including ‘senior pranks’ that are not tolerated by either our district office or school.

  • “Excellence Through Performance” Dear Desert Vista Family, As We
    “Excellence Through Performance” Dear Desert Vista Family, As we wind down to the last few weeks of the first quarter, I would like to remind parents to check ParentVue to gauge where your child is in regards to his/her learning and encourage them to complete their work, prepare for assessments, communicate with teachers, attend before or after school tutoring supports by the teacher, and/or attend our Peer to Peer Tutoring Program (see times below). We continue to partner with our Site Council, Student Council and Guidance Department and one of our main goals is providing information to students and parents regarding the social and emotional well-being our students. During lunch on Friday, September 29th, there will be several organizations on campus providing education and information to students on a variety of social and emotional wellness topics. Our community partner, Teen Lifeline, is visiting schools across Arizona during the month of September to raise awareness about suicide prevention. Organizations on site may include, Teen Lifeline, GLSEN, 1 n 10 and Terros. Visiting with these organizations is completely voluntary. However, we would be pleased if you encouraged your child to stop by the lunchtime event and visit with the groups. The health and well-being of our students is our number one priority and we look forward to partnering with our families in the upcoming year as we strive to develop resilient, healthy, and happy young adults. We are well into the fall season of our extra-curricular activities and I look forward to sending out more information to highlight all of our programs.
