Class Winners for Attendance
Class Winners for Attendance
As you may know, Turtleback has an exciting school-wide initiative highlighting the importance of daily attendance. At the beginning of each week, the classrooms with the highest attendance will be celebrated and a trophy will be delivered to their class. You can view the results at Monday drop-off and pick-up. We are committed to supporting families in this effort, and we encourage you to continue fostering a strong school-attendance routine at home. Thank you for your partnership in helping make this year a successful one for all of our students.Â

Let's Be Proactive and get to school on time Every Day!
We want to take a moment to highlight the importance of regular attendance in your child's education. Research shows that consistent attendance leads to stronger academic performance, greater social development, and a higher likelihood of graduating on time. Every day your child is present, they benefit from valuable learning experiences, engage in classroom activities, and form positive relationships with their peers and teachers. When students attend school regularly, they stay connected to the curriculum and build a strong foundation for success in the future.Â

Hello Everyone,
My name is Ivana Lovasz and I am a School Counselor at Turtleback Elementary in the Poway Unified School District. I have been a counselor for 23 years, first in La Mesa Spring Valley, and for the last 10 years I have been proud to call PUSD my home.Â
I attended San Diego State University where I received my Bachelor's in Psychology, followed by Chapman University where I did graduate work, and earned my Masters in Counseling as well as my PPS Credential.

Kindly,
Mrs. Lovasz
