Volume 3 Issue 2

Our first full week is in the books! If you didn't receive the newsletter last week, you can always find archived copies on our school website under resources: parents. This week's issue focuses on getting connected on Parent Square, lunch service at both sites for all students TK-12, some grade-specific updates, and some volunteer opportunities. Our background this week features Mrs. Dove and her educational hub in her classroom. If you haven't come in person, you may not realize how all that instructional magic is created. If you have any questions, concerns, or compliments, please reach out to Mr. Fineberg, our principal, at efineberg@tustin.k12.ca.us.

Parent Access to Schoology and the Gradebook

Parent Access to Schoology

Parents who signed up for a Schoology parent account and entered an access code for their child last year will still be connected this year. For any parents who did not do that or are new to our district, parent access codes will be updated in Aeries soon. Here is a video that shows how parents can find their child’s access code and create a Schoology Parent account so they are connected to their child’s courses and teachers.

School Site Council-VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

At Back to School Night, we reached out for volunteers to join our School Site Council. The Council meets 5 times over the course of the school year on the following dates:

Fridays at 8:30 AM.


9/10, 10/15, 2/4, 4/15, and 5/13


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. The SSC is expected to:


  • Review the District’s LCAP and LEA Plan.
  • Review and analyze student data.
  • Solicit community input and develop a needs assessment.
  • Assist the principal in developing SPSA.
  • Monitor the implementation and effectiveness of the SPSA on an ongoing basis.
  • Approve the SPSA before it is submitted to the District for final review and Board of Education approval.

Please email Mr. Fineberg if you are interested in joining the School Site Council at efineberg@tustin.k12.ca.us.
