Volume 3 Issue 3

Issue 3 has arrived. How exciting! This week's issue includes updates on devices and some volunteer opportunities. Our background this week features our leadership students as they meet outside the classroom to begin planning the year's activities for our school as well as discuss the curriculum. Big thank you to the students and Mrs. Fairburn for all the hard work. If you have any questions, concerns, or compliments, please reach out to Mr. Fineberg, our principal, at efineberg@tustin.k12.ca.us.

Principal's Message...

By now, you are hopefully getting into a groove. As I'm sure you have experienced, your teachers are incredible resources, and I encourage you to reach out to them as they are incredible problem solvers. We are all here to help, so be sure to call, email, text, and let us know the good and the struggles. We are here to help. In addition, for those of you new to TC and Independent Study, our first attendance period will be closing next Friday. It's critical that all work is completed and turned in by next Friday for students to earn full attendance. Also, please consider joining School Site Council. It's only 5 meetings over the course of the year—Fridays at 8:30 AM on 9/10, 10/15, 2/4, 4/15, and 5/13. Interested parents need only to email Mr. Fineberg.


Have a great weekend. 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.

Parent Access to Schoology and the Gradebook

Parent Access to Schoology

Parents who signed up for a Schoology parent account and entered an access code for their child last year will still be connected this year. For any parents who did not do that or are new to our district, parent access codes will be updated in Aeries soon. Here is a video that shows how parents can find their child’s access code and create a Schoology Parent account so they are connected to their child’s courses and teachers.
