Principal's Message...
What a wonderful week of celebrations for our incredible teachers. We are so blessed to have such incredible teachers from TK-12 at Tustin Connect. It was a wonderful celebration and thank you to all for making it a special week for them.
Superintendent Mark Johnson joined us this week as part of our Principal's Coffee. We touch on a number of important topics from required COVID vaccine not on the table until July 2023 to the vision of Tustin Connect for 22/23 and beyond. We ended the event with a quick game of This or That. Big Thank you to Dr. Johnson for spending some time and all of the families, staff, and students that joined us in-person or live.
A very Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms out there. As always, 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.

This would provide you an opportunity to see the 8th grade promotion ceremony and pay it forward so when your child graduates you would be able to enjoy the experience without worrying about cleaning up. It's really just about breaking down tables and decorations from 6:30-7:30 pm.
