WASC Accreditation Visit: On November 29 and November 30th, 3 teaching professionals from Riverside, Carlsbad, and Santa Barbara respectively will be conducting a virtual visit and evaluation of our High School. The visit is part of the accreditation process. We are excited to host the visit as it is the culmination of a multi-year process where we have done a self-study of the school and identified various areas of strength and potential areas of growth. The committee will provide feedback, finalize areas of growth, and determine accreditation. It's an exciting and important time. Some of our students will have 1-3 visitors in the classroom virtually. If you are not comfortable with having your child in the virtual classroom for whatever reason, please email Mr. Fineberg at efineberg@tustin.k12.ca.us.
