A Message from Mrs. Denny
September 17, 2021
Meanwhile, back at the Ranch (Tustin Ranch)...
It has been a GREAT week! Routines are starting to stick, but we will continue to work on this. Parent-Teacher conferences are next week. This is a wonderful opportunity to discuss one of your most favorite people with their teacher, who also thinks they are awesome! Please be sure to attend and be on time. Each conference is only 15-20 minutes. Every day next week will be early dismissal (just like Wednesdays).
Our TRE Dads group came and played games at recess with our students and the students LOVED it! If you are a dad, grandpa, or uncle and would like to be a part of the TRE DADs Crew please email trepta@gmail.com.
Trunk or Treat is coming (October 14). If you have a TRUNK you'd like to decorate and you'd like to pass out goodies please sign up HERE. There are 35 TRUNK spots available. Each trunk must be fully self-contained. All items must be individually wrapped in sealed wrapping. All items handed out must be appropriate for children.
Emails and phone messages: Please note that our staff will return emails and phone messages within 24 hours of receiving the message, during school hours, or the following workday after a weekend.
Parking lot volunteers: If you would like to volunteer to help the traffic flow through our parking lot either before or after school, please email me.
Have a wonderful weekend. We will see you Monday!

Tustin Ranch Dress Code
Education Law does allow public schools to establish a dress code.
Student Dress Codes are established to:
