Tustin Tiller Days:
If you purchased Tiller Days wrist bands, vouchers have been sent home with your student. Please note that you will receive a voucher which you will need to exchanged at Tiller Days for the physical wrist band. Thank you for your continued support of Guin Foss!
International Walk to School Day
Wednesday, October 10th, Tustin Unified School District will participate in the International Walk to School Day. Walk to school day encourages adults and children to walk to school together. This event is designed to raise awareness about walking as a form of exercise, how it reduces traffic congestion and pollution and it also focuses on teaching children safe walking skills and routes. If your commute does not allow you to walk from home, consider parking a few blocks away and walking your child onto campus. This increases morning conversations and family time in addition to making it a healthy choice!
School Pictures
All students will take school photos on Wednesday, October 10th. Even if you are not purchasing school photos for your students, students will be photographed for school purposes. Students may dress in their “Sunday Best” or in their school uniform on this day.
PTO Meeting
Please join us on October 12th at 8:30 am in the MPR for our PTO Meeting.
