On Wednesday, October 30th, Tustin Connect PTA became official. An initial 26 members including all school staff joined our PTA. Our elected officers include:

Colleen Ma- President

Ashley Le - Treasurer

Mary Finn-Parker - Secretary

Please join. For a $10 donation, you will be supporting our school and our efforts toward campus beautification, celebration, and education. Forms are available in the front office.

We are excited to announce the official kick-off of a new resource for our 9-12 students. It's called Grade Slam and it's a free 24/7 online tutoring support for our students. Thanks to the generosity of the TUSD, we have access to this resource. Students and parents at the PTA meeting on Wednesday have been exposed to this incredible support system. We've also included a parent and student handout as well.

Make-up Picture Day is November 7th 9-11 am at both sites for those that didn't like their picture or missed the day. Forms are going home this week. We will also be getting information out for 8th grade and senior pictures as well.

One topic that seems to impact many of our students is school refusal. The article is a short read with techniques to help teachers, students and parents to problem solve the issue of school refusal. We hope you find it insightful. As always if you have any questions or need support, please contact Mrs. Erickson, our school counselor, at jerickson@tustin.k12.ca.us.
