Elective Choices
Please remember that course requests are just that, requests. Elective courses are offered at each school dependent upon student pre-registration sign-up, facilities, and staffing. Every effort is made to honor individual student requests for elective classes; however, scheduling conflicts or limited enrollment may make it necessary to modify requests.
The window to complete your course requests will be open from:
April 9, 2020 - April 17, 2020
Please be sure to input your requests ASAP.
step 1: read through course descriptions
step 2: watch the course request tutorial video
step 3: view the google slides tutorial
step 4: login to aeries portal
Remember - you MUST login to Aeries through a web browser, not the Aeries app. This should take only a few minutes to complete.
Aeries Parent Portal: https://parentnet.tustin.k12.ca.us/ParentPortal/LoginParent.aspx
PLEASE NOTE: When you login in you will see place holders for all required courses: Core, Math, Science, & PE. These are simply placeholders - we have not indicated honors or accelerated math at this time.
A Note about Math Placement
In preparation for the 2020-2021 school year, TUSD will still be administering the Math Mastery Checkpoint to all students in 5th grade. The purpose of this Mastery Checkpoint is to help determine the best fit for placement in 6th grade math based on student mastery of 5th grade standards. The window for this Mastery Checkpoint is April 13-24, and will be taken at home at a time of your child’s choosing on his/her TUSD-issued device.
The assessment will be open 24/7 from 8am on April 13th until 5pm on April 24th. Details about accessing the assessment and time limits will be sent out by your child’s teacher on Monday morning, April 13th.
We realize this is not a normal testing environment. We are trusting that your child takes this test with integrity and confidentiality in order to best support them in their math placement for next year. This is an individual test and no support from peers, siblings, parents, or the internet is allowed.
If you have any questions, please contact TUSD Secondary Math TOSA, Crystal Kirch at ckirch@tustin.k12.ca.us.
Once again, welcome to Utt Middle School! We are proud Falcons and look forward to meeting all of you in August!
