The workshop will be held for elementary and middle school parents on Wednesday, January 15, at 6 p.m. in the multipurpose room at Orchard Hills School, 11555 Culver Drive, Irvine. Parents will learn strategies they can utilize when implementing a reward/consequence system for their children.

TUSD schools rank among the best in the State. We focus every day on helping students thrive. However, our elementary and middle schools are aging with many over 50 years old. Although well maintained, these schools require significant upgrades and repairs after decades of constant use. Over the past two years , TUSD built a Facilities Master Plan with direct input from over 600 school stakeholders while engaging and informing thousands of residents. Measure N is a result of those conversations. Please visit this webpage for additional information.
