News Fromthe RanchNovember 2, 2025, Vol. 1, Issue 14

Dear TRE Family,


What a week! Students and staff had fun showing school spirit by dressing up each day of Red Ribbon Week. We are PAWSitively Healthy, Happy, & Drug Free at TRE! The Book Character Parade on Thursday was a hit. The kids were all smiles, and it was great to see so many families on campus to enjoy the parade.


It was a great conference week with our TK families. Thank you to all who attended a TK conference in partnership with our amazing TK teachers, Mrs. Sheyka and Mrs. Yee.


Thank you to those who participated in the Tustin Public Schools Foundation (TPSF) Dino Dash this morning. We had a great turnout this year! For each runnership, TRE gets $10 back to our classrooms.
