Tustin Connect News

It's hard to believe we are already at Issue 33. Lots of good stuff again this week with details on Promotion, Graduation, and 8th and 12th-grade pictures along with more resources from Mrs. Erickson. You can't miss the cutest background picture EVER from Mrs. McCourtney. Baby Leo joined the McCourtney family Monday, March 23rd. He was 20" long and 6lbs 11oz. We can't wait to meet him in person, but in the meantime, this picture is pretty awesome!!! If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Mr. Fineberg, our principal, at efineberg@tustin.k12.ca.us.

In case you missed it, the district sent a survey out to get parent feedback on how things are going. Please take a moment to complete the short survey. I recently heard from a parent that they are not getting the emails from TUSD that come out. In doing some digging, it appears that some of you may need to update the Notification Preferences in your Aeries Parent Portal. This is critical to ensure you are receiving email and other important information. Be sure that you have opted into receiving District, School, Class, and Group announcements. You need only to click your preferred method(s) of delivery. Again, thank you for your continued support and let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns. efineberg@tustin.k12.ca.us

Hello, 12th Grade Families,

Please come by to let us celebrate you! Remember to bring your device if you have already completed your coursework and we will take it for you without ever leaving the car!

Senior and 8th Grade Pictures

We wanted to update everyone on how they can view their Senior and 8th grade pictures. The Lifetouch labs have been shut down as a nonessential business, but you can either call the Call center at 800-736-4753 or go online to MYLIFETOUCH.com to view the pictures.

The first step is to go online or call to get your student's access code to view the files.

1) Go to mylifetouch.com

2) Click on the LIVE CHAT blue button under the contact information in the bottom left-hand side of the screen.

3) Fill in your name, number, and add the Picture day ID number (EVT22XXM3) and type: Can I get the Access Code for my student?

4) They will ask you some questions to verify your relationship for security reasons.

5) Then they will provide the access credentials for you to view the images.
