Volume 3 Issue 4

Happy Friday to you all! We are excited to announce that Mrs. Verrall has joined the TC Family. She will be taking on our 1st grade classroom and had the opportunity to meet them all today. So fun! Please join me in sending a big Maverick welcome to Mrs. Verrall. Our background this week features Mrs. Maeda's 2nd-grade classroom. It showcases our in-person students, Mrs. Maeda, and our awesome aide Mrs. Garcia. As always, 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...

A few of you let me know that you received a strange email requesting money that looks like it came from your own(student's) email account. The district is aware of this and please delete it immediately. Our IT Department has been able to locate the origin and we believe it has been addressed. Please let me know if you receive anything like this in the future. As unsettling as it is/was, you should be good to go moving forward.


Have a great long weekend and Happy Labor Day. 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.


Mr. Fineberg

Middle School Information

Weekly Meetings: Please remind your students to please keep your camera on during class. It helps your teacher's pace instruction, gain insight into where you're at, and we also see improved student engagement when cameras are on. If you'd like, you can always blur out your background as well.


Keyboards: If your child needs a keyboard, we have them available for use with their iPad. There's a lot of typing that goes on in MS and we've found many of our students prefer to use the keyboard.

High School Information

Halfway Through: We are about halfway through the quarter. It certainly moves fast on the quarter system. Be sure to reach out to your teachers if you are struggling at all. Also, if you can come by in person, we have found that makes a big difference.


Senior Pictures: Please hold the date for senior pictures on November 3rd. More details to come, but wanted to make sure our seniors marked their calendars for this special seating and opportunity.
