December – Responsibility

December’s focus is Responsibility — being dependable and taking ownership of our actions. At home, children can practice by helping with chores or remembering routines. Ask your child: “What is one responsibility you can take on this week?”

At the end of the month, one student from each classroom will be recognized at our school assembly for showing responsibility.

A Message from TUSD Student Services Dept: Safe Firearm Storage A Message from TUSD Student Services Dept: Safe Firearm Storage

User uploaded image
zoom_out_map

The safety of our students and families is always our top priority. As we approach mid-year, in accordance with the law, we want to remind all parents and guardians of the importance of securely storing firearms to prevent access by children or unauthorized individuals.


California law holds gun owners responsible if a child gains access to an improperly stored firearm and causes harm, brings it to school, or brandishes it. The safest way to comply is to keep firearms unloaded, locked, and stored separately from ammunition.


Please take a moment to review the full Safe Firearm Storage Notice from our Student Services Department, which outlines California’s laws and safety recommendations for families.



Thank you for partnering with us to help keep our students and community safe!
