Halloween Costumes Notice
Remember that learning will be happening and students must be able to fully participate in all learning. If the below guidelines are not followed we will contact a parent or emergency contact to come and pick up your child.
Thank you for helping us allow students to dress up and still follow school guidelines at the same time.
Final 6 Weeks of 1st Semester
This is a reminder that your Falcon is in the final 6 weeks of the first semester. Grades earned at the end of the semester will be final grades. You can help your child improve grades by:
- Checking Aeries & Schoology for misssing assignments
- Contact teachers directly if you or your child have any questions
- Remind your child to turn their camera ON during classes. We notice that students with cameras ON are more engaged in learning and complete more assignments, which results in higher grades
- Remember - Wednesday should NOT be work free day. There are assignments posted AND is a good day to touch base with teachers for clarifying questions AND to catch up on work
2020-21 GATE Screening & Identification
Gifted and Talented Education (GATE): The Tustin Unified School District will screen and identify second- through eighth-grade students for GATE this school year. The screening includes a cognitive test (OLSAT or NNAT) which will be administered in person. Social distancing and paper quarantine guidelines will be followed to keep students and staff safe. Please click HERE for a GATE Screening Information Screencast. Here are the English Presentation Slides/Spanish Presentation Slides.
To register your child to screen for GATE, please complete the Consent to Test Form linked HERE by Thursday, October 29, at 4:30 p.m.
Students who have already been identified GATE in Tustin Unified maintain their eligibility and do not need to screen again.
