The California Standards Tests assess students mastery of the State Content Standards in the areas of English Language Arts, Math, and Science. The testing results are compiled and schools are given an API (Academic Performance Index) based on those results. It is extremely important that we have 100% participation, so we need your help in ensuring that your children come to school on the days that they will be tested. Students should also be well rested and have eaten a healthy breakfast to start their day. If your child is ill during testing, please call to inform the office, and your student will be given an opportunity to make-up the test that he/she missed if timing allows. See this letter for schedules

TUSD would like to showcase all of the current technology available to our schools and give you a chance to interact with and evaluate the technology. At the fair, education technology providers will showcase their products.

As we begin to implement our TUSD 21st Century Classroom Project, we want your voices to be part of the process, and this fair will afford you an opportunity to share your ideas with us. You will be able to provide feedback which will give us insight into which technology you would like to see in our classrooms. It will also provide us valuable insight into the technology initiatives that have the greatest support, and will guide our implementation strategy.

The fair is scheduled from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm on the following days:

Wednesday, April 11th at Beckman High School
Thursday, April 12th at Foothill High School
Friday, April 13th at Tustin High School

The Tustin Unified School District is restoring two furlough days on Friday, Feb. 17, and Friday, May 25, pending ratification by the employee associations. Both dates will be student instructional days and work/paid days for TUSD employees.

The two furlough days are being reinstated due to one-time money being given to the District from the federal government through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and Education Jobs Bill funds. ARRA is an economic stimulus package enacted by Congress and signed into law by the president in February 2009 to save and create jobs, and provide temporary relief to education, health, energy and other programs.

The District and schools are notifying parents about the two restored furlough days so they can plan accordingly to have their children in school on Feb. 17 and May 25. The revised calendars are posted on the MYFORD as well as on the TUSD websites. For more information, contact the TUSD Communications Office at (714) 730-7339.

Tustin Unified School District (TUSD) has been granted funding by the City of Irvine Educational Partnership Fund to provide health services to three TUSD schools [...]

Tustin Unified School District (TUSD) has been granted funding by the City of Irvine Educational Partnership Fund to provide health services to three TUSD schools that are located in Irvine. The grant is dedicated to improve health services at Beckman High School, Myford Elementary School and Orchard Hills School. The major focus of the school health services is to identify at-risk students who have Body Mass Index (BMI) at or > 85th percentile in 5th graders and presence of acanthosis nigricans among 10th graders. The program goals for the school nurse thus include early identification, referral, and training. The BMI is determined by the student's height and weight. These measurements will be performed along with the scheduled vision and hearing screening. Based on the identified at-risk students, the school nurse will be providing assistance in accessing medical care, insurance, and referrals. In addition, the school nurse will provide training on nutrition and fitness through the "5-2-1 Almost None" program to students. This funding opportunity will assist the TUSD by supporting the children, youth, and families of Irvine by receiving research based information to assist them in making decisions to improve and maintain a healthy lifestyle. It is TUSD's vision to develop these schools as a model for achieving overall health and wellness for the TUSD.
