TUTORIAL PERIOD - Tartar Tutorial Time

This period is built into our bell schedule (30 min period between 3rd and 4th period, every Wednesday and Thursday). Students have an opportunity to get additional assistance with their assignments or topics in which they are struggling, and they are encouraged to take advantage of this time. Students must visit one of their six teachers’ classrooms. Seats will be filled on a first come, first serve basis. Students are not permitted to enter a classroom in which they are not currently enrolled.

Please be considerate during pick up and drop off near the school and district offices. Do not stop at red-painted curbs near the entrances and exits of parking lots or near signs that say No Stopping. The large student parking lot on Plaza Del Amo is open and available and should be used for pick up and drop off.

Please share this message with any family or friends who may be driving your student to and from school. It takes everyone’s participation to park safely according to city traffic laws.

Call slips have been sent out to all students that have not taken photos, and more than 75 appointments have been set. Please remind your student(s) to keep their appointment! If they have not set one, please stop into ASB to set one up.

All families are highly encouraged to fill out the Educational Benefit Form and submit the documentation that our District needs to continue to provide this benefit.

Other areas supported by this funding include intervention, additional academic counseling, socio-emotional counseling, and reading recovery.

Your student may have brought home a brochure for short term accident and sickness insurance. Distributed by TUSD as an option for families that may not already have insurance or would like additional coverage, this is an option made available to you to ensure your student is covered if they plan on traveling to a field trip this year or to events with extracurricular teams.
