A Message from Mrs. Denny 10/20/2023
Hello TRE Families,
Red Ribbon week is this coming week! The theme for this year is Be Kind to Your Mind. Although the week is fun with dress up days it is also important that our students know how important it is to stay drug free and not take anything unless their parents or doctor tell them to. Thank you for supporting this at home as well.
Friday, October 27th is dress as your favorite book character day. No masks or pretend weapons will be allowed. Please adhere to the dress code. Students will need to change into their regular school clothes after the parade. There will be a parent zone outside of the multi- purpose room for parents that would like to come watch the parade
October 31st will be a regular school day. No costumes please!
Trunk or Treat is coming and we need your help! Here is what you can do:
- Donate a bag (or two) of candy. We have large bins "Candy Monsters" by the front office and kindergarten gates.
- Sign up to host a decorated trunk for our students to do some trick or treating.
- Sign up to help set-up or clean up. I will be out there helping! Please come join me!
Here is the link to sign up:

Please be sure students come to school on time. Reading and phonics instruction starts right away in our primary grades and upper grade starts their day with 100 Mile Club. We would love all of our upper grade students to get their medals for 100 Miles this year!
Have a great week! See you Wednesday morning!
Mrs. Denny
Proud TRE Principal

Tustin Ranch/Pioneer Middle School Cell Phone Policy
CELL PHONES/SMART DEVICES: To ensure student safety and exposure to unmonitored internet contact directly, or through friends, cell/smartphone use is not allowed on school campus by students (including field trips). Cell phones and smartphones that must be stored in the owner’s backpack and powered “off” during the entire school day. Students are not permitted to keep their cell/smartphone in their pockets or desks, or otherwise “on their person” while at school. Smart devices such as watches are not to be used during school in any capacity that mimics a cell or smartphone.
Use of a watch or activity tracker is permissible. If students violate the cell phone policy or are found to have a smart device in their possession that is not stored and in the ’off’ position, it will be confiscated and held until a parent or guardian can pick it up.
Tustin Ranch is not responsible for items that have gone missing during school. While we are sympathetic to items that are missing please remember that it is our endeavor to focus as much time as possible on refining our programs and instruction to maximize student achievement, and time taken to look for these items hinders these efforts. A licensed physician and surgeon may direct a student to use an electronic signaling device if carrying such a device is essential for the health of the student. Use of the device by the student is limited specifically to the health of that student.
If a student needs to call their parents they may call from the school office or classroom.
If a parent needs to give their child a message they may call the front office at (714)730-7580. We will be sure the student receives the message.
