School Site Council-PLEASE VOTE

Please take a moment to vote for our School Site Council Parent Representatives using this link. As background information, School Site Council (SSC) must be established at all Tustin Unified School District Schools. The elected members represent parents, students, community members, and school staff in school governance. The SSC is responsible for the development of the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) and school site categorical funds. We have three awesome parents that have agreed to serve and we need one more as well. Please take a moment to cast your vote and let us know if you might be interested in serving as well.

Hello Maverick Parents,

Here’s your PTA Roundup for the week.


THANK YOU MAVERICK FAMILIES!

You have raised $6220.00 this fall! Our PTA is encouraged and motivated to work harder for you. These funds will allow us along with your teachers and Principal Fineberg to budget in areas that will be most effective in your student’s educational experience.


SUPER AWESOME SPIRIT WEAR will be arriving within the next 2 weeks. Keep an eye out for the distribution procedure coming next week.


Advertising Opportunity for Business Donors PTA is offering the opportunity to place a banner at either school with a business donation of $250. We are opening this up to Tustin Connect families first. Please reach out to Melissa Weiss at smw1196@sbcglobal.net if you are interested. It benefits your business and student!


Have a wonderful weekend!

Your PTA

Elementary Information

Checking Grades in Schoology: Please make sure to check grades in Schoology regularly. If you notice your child is missing points, please look at the rubric next to the assignment in the Grades tab. Your teachers often leave feedback on assignments, and students are encouraged to resubmit any assignments with incomplete scores. Please have your student email their teacher if they submit missing work so that they can make sure their scores reflect the work. This image helps to clarify.

Middle School Information

Electives: A big thank you to our awesome Middle School Teachers who have created three terrific elective options for our students. Mrs. Gullo's Pulbic Speaking Class and Mrs. Dove's PAL Leadership class have provided great experiences for our students to hone their skills. Ms. Paulson Art Class offers students an introduction to art without the pressures of additional coursework. All three options have been a tremendous addition to our students' middle school experience.
