Principal's Message...
As we head out to celebrate the Thanksgiving Break, I wanted to share my gratitude for the Tustin Connect community. Tustin Connect is such a special place and I'm so grateful for our teachers, staff, students, families, and community.
When we return from break, our high school will be having our WASC accreditation visit from Monday, November 29th through Wednesday, December 1st.
Picture Day is the week we come back on Thursday, December 2nd on both campuses.
K-8 Pictures: 8:45am – 12:30 pm in the MPR at Estock
9-12 Pictures: 8:45am – 2:30 pm in the MPR at ESC
Please make arrangements to stop by and take your picture. The pictures will be used for our yearbook, Student IDs, and AERIES photos. You'll definitely want to make sure you stop by.
We are kicking off FSU or Familial Support University (FSU) when we return from break. Join Mrs. Maeda and our two mental health professionalsYenyfer Bullock and Claire Skomsvold as we kick off the first of a series of 6 meetings. FSU is designed for parents, grandparents, and caregivers to learn about topics from Effective Study Strategies to Helping Your Child Regulate Their Emotions and lots of great topics in between. Please check out the flyer and register today. It's an amazing support system for our families. You'll learn so many strategies and supports.
As always, if you have any questions, compliments, ideas, and/or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out at (714) 430-2052 ext. 52103 or efineberg@tustin.k12.ca.us.

High School Information
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.
