Hybrid Safety Reminders
On Monday, April 19th, all students who are currently attending school in a hybrid format may attend school four days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, & Friday).
We must ensure that students maintain and follow directions for our safety protocol. All students will be provided a review of expectations during 1st period on Monday. Below is the presentation of expectations from our Assistant Principal, Ms. Lam.
Please review and discuss with your child. We are excited to be able to bring more students onto campus for more days. It is critical that all students value and maintain expectations so that we can continue to stay open.
Thank you for your assistance!

2021-2022 School Year
Tustin Unified School District teachers, administrators and staff are currently planning for the next school year. Adhering to the health and safety guidelines issued by the California Department of Public Health, we anticipate having students back on campuses for in-person instruction for the 2021-22 school year. We also understand that not all parents and students will feel comfortable attending school in person. Consequently, we have two options for your child for the return to school on August 12, 2021.
Option 1: Attend your school site for full-time, in-person instruction
- No additional action is required at this time.
Option 2: Enroll in Tustin Connect K-12 School for blended or online, independent study instruction
- Click here prior to April 30, 2021 to begin reserving your spot at Tustin Connect K-12.
