This week, families across TUSD joined us as we participated in National Walk to School Day on October 4. A huge thank you to our community partners Tustin Police Department and Orange County Sheriff who walked with us at Nelson and Loma Vista. We loved seeing our students walking safely, starting the day with excitement, a little fresh air and exercise.

We have received over 1,000 responses so far to our Communications Survey. Thank you to our community for sharing your feedback. The survey will remain open through October 14. If you have not already, please take a moment to share your feedback on our communication efforts and outreach endeavors. Your input will inform ongoing District communications. The survey is available in English and Spanish. We thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

A Dino Dash deal ends at 11:59 p.m. on October 9. Now is the time to register before prices increase on all events on October 10. Join your classmates, teachers, staff and families in the 2K fun run and school walk, or compete for a handmade ceramic trophy and gift certificates for age division winners in the chip-timed 5K or 10K. Play it safe with the 5K closed-course bike ride, adventure out on the 15K ride, or climb up Santiago Hills with the 50K cycling event. The 2K includes a wristband for all registrants and all other events include finisher medals. Dino Dash-themed tee shirts and bags will also be given to all participants. Most importantly, proceeds from the event go back into programs across all TUSD schools. For more details and to register, visit the Tustin Public Schools Foundation website at www.dinosaurdash.net.
