Across TUSD, our library media technicians welcomed students back to the library. Students enjoy story time, discovering new books or reconnecting with a favorite text. Thank you to Library Services Specialist Theresa Walsh and all of our library media technicians for making a visit to the campus library such a wonderful experience for all of our students.

Regular, on-time school attendance is vital to the success of all students. Across TUSD, our goal is to have all children present in school every day and on time. We are grateful for our partnership with parents and guardians to help us ensure student success. Important information regarding building strong habits early in your child's academic career and keeping your student on track through middle and high school is included. We encourage all of our families to review TUSD attendance policies and communicate with your school's office regarding absences due to illness. Thank you for continuing to support student success through regular, on-time attendance at school.
