Time to come alive with Issue 25. This week's picture comes from our high school biology class. It's dissection day. Our students dissected a cow eyeball in order to see the different components of the eye. Good stuff!!! As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Mr. Fineberg, our principal, at efineberg@tustin.k12.ca.us or via phone at (714) 430-2052.

Survey This survey is to identify your intentions for your student's enrollment and placement for the 2020-2021 school year. If you have multiple students at Tustin Connect, please fill out the form for each student.

Each year we partner with Columbus Tustin Middle School in order for our Tustin Connect students to attend the high school orientation presentation hosted at their site. This presentation shares information about choosing classes, electives, activities, and sports. We highly encourage our students to attend.

This year the orientation is scheduled from 8:41-9:28 (2nd period at CT) on Monday, March 9th. Each high school will be hosting its own presentation at the site. Please let me know if your child will or will not be attending the orientation. This event is for students only.

If your child will be able to attend, please drop them off at the CT office at 8:30. Mrs. Erickson or I will meet them there and escort them to their orientation location. You will be able to pick them up at the CT front office at 9:30.

Please send your reply by this Friday at 9 am. As usual, please feel free to email me if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Dove

TUSD has worked closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Orange County Public Health, and health care providers across the state to stay updated and informed. We have added extra sanitizer and wipes to all classrooms as well as additional wipe down to furniture and knobs across our classrooms. The flyer below is a great outline for ways that we can all prevent the spread of the flu and COVID 19. Here are some additional resources as well if you'd like.

Student-friendly video overview of the COVID 19 or Corona Virus, guidelines for handwashing for K-2 and 3-6 students. As always, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

For the past 8 years, the Tustin Public Schools Foundation has run a Summer Academy at Orchard Hills for the TUSD students and neighboring communities. It's an incredible opportunity for students to participate in high-interest classes taught by TUSD's finest teachers. It's an incredible program and our own Mr. David will be joining us this summer. Additionally, this is Mr. Fineberg's baby as he started the academy and continues to run it. For more information, check out the website at www.tpsf.net/summeracademy. Registration opens March 1st, but applications for interns (High School and College-age students) are available now!

To provide students a flexible, yet rigorous, alternative education solution within a caring community that cultivates success, resilience, and advocacy for themselves and others
