Tustin High School News

We welcomed our newest Tillers this week during Camp THS Freshmen Orientation! Students played games, received their class schedules and toured campus with student leaders while parents learned about high school academics, expectations, and resources for a successful high school experience. Thank you to the 200+ students and 150+ parents who attended, and to our Freshmen Orientation Team for creating this opportunity!

Back to School Night was held immediately after Freshmen Orientation. Parents and students met teachers in their classrooms, enjoyed music and tacos, and visited resource tables in the Plaza!

Whether you attended these events or not, we are asking all parents and guardians to take a few minutes to complete THIS SURVEY. We strive for the best in all that we do, and your voice is valued in our decision making.

Tustin ASB put on two fun events this week to bring us together as a school community. Wednesday's Welcome Back Fair featured a Q&A booth, friendship bracelets, positivity stickers, advice for new students, and SNOW CONES!

Friday's Welcome Back Assembly was filled with excellent performances from Band, Colorguard, Cheer and Dance Team, as well as fun games and competitions.

Strong attendance is the foundation to school success, especially during the high school years when curriculum is more challenging and grades impact graduation and college eligibility. Please ensure that your student attends school every day unless they are unable to due to the following legal reasons: illness, medical appointments, funerals for immediate family members, court mandated appointments, religious holidays and observances.

Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with THS Attendance Office Procedures to avoid accrual of detention hours for your student.

Due to the high number of students arriving late to school because of stops at Starbucks, 7 Leaves, Jack in the Box, or similar businesses on the way to school, we are implementing a new policy starting Monday, August 19th.

Students who arrive later than 8:25 am will no longer be allowed to bring any of the drinks they picked up on the way to school onto campus. They will need to finish their drinks before entering or dispose of them in the trash to enter campus.

Please inform your students that if they wish to visit a Starbucks or similar business before school, they must arrive to the gate by 8:25 am and arrive in the classroom before the tardy bell rings at 8:30 AM. Only students who are on time will be allowed to bring their drinks onto campus.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us improve first period attendance and reduce tardies this year.

Let’s have a great year, Tillers!
