Data Confirmation is turned on annually leading into the new school year. This process allows parents and guardians to provide up-to-date information to their school for the upcoming school year. This also allows schools and the district to notify parents and guardians with annual notices and authorizations.

Parent Data Confirmation will take parent/guardians through 7 steps. Please see below for a step by step 

• Parents/Guardians will be asked to complete 3 short Family Information Surveys.
  • Is the student is currently in Foster Care?
  • Does the student have a parent/guardian who is active military?
  • Is the student is currently experiencing homelessness?
    Students experiencing homelessness are entitled to additional resources and support. This information is kept confidential between you and your school's administration.

Parents/Guardians will be asked to complete an Income Survey.
Starting In March of 2023, the Universal Meals Act passed in California that requires California Schools to provide free meals to all students without a Meal Application. This helps families and the district to remove a complicated Meal Application and cut down on processing time. However, schools are still funded through families who would qualify based on income. The Income Survey is a simple alternative to a meal application that will help your school continue to fund free meals for all students.
This information is kept confidential between you and your school's administration.

The contacts screen allows you to update your current contact information for parent guardians and for emergency contacts. This will keep the school office and teachers updated with accurate contact information on how to reach you. 

Each student is required to have at least ONE contact labeled a “parent/guardian” in the record type. A Parent/Guardian contact we will need a name, phone number, email, relationship, notification preference and education level. The notification preference “general and emergency” is used of all general messaging including attendance calls, school events, or announcements.

For an emergency contact, please populate the contacts name, relationship, at least 1 phone number, and select the notification preference “emergency only”. These contacts are only used in emergency situations where the school sends an urgent message.

The Medical History page will allow you to edit or add any medical conditions for your student. A robust list is provided for you to choose from.

Please contact your schools health office for any additional questions. 

The documents screen is used to provide parents and guardians with required updated information each year, such as the students rights and responsibilities.

By clicking on the document it will open in a new window and mark the document as “read”.

The Authorizations page will allow you to consent to which data can or cannot be released. Some examples are the Student Media release for the district or schools social media, information regarding graduation, or financial aid.

We do not release information or records concerning your child to non-educational organizations or individuals without your consent.

The last step is to confirm all previous information is correct and to Electronically-sign with the link provided. This link will take you inside ParentSquare, our communication system, to E-sign the information provided.

An emergency card is also available for you to print or save at the last step for your records.

Tustin Unified strives for clear. effective, and innovative ways to communicate to our families.
Tustin Unified partners with ParentSquare as its primary platform to communicate to families.

ParentSquare will provide communication through phone calls, emails, texting, app notifications along with new integrated features like Survey’s, RSVP signups, and E-signature collection. 

ParentSquare is mobile friendly and can be logged in through your Aeries Parent Portal. See below "Where can I Access" for more information.
 

To provide the best communication to our families, Tustin Unified depends on Parents to update their contact information in Aeries Data Confirmation "Contacts" accurately. In this screen parent/guardians will be required to mark at least one contact as the "Parent/Guardian" as well as any other emergency contacts.

• Each Parent/Guardian Contact requires last name, first name, telephone, email, notification preference as "general", relationship, and education level. At least one Parent/Guardian Contact is required.
• Each Emergency Contact requires last name, first name, telephone, and notification preference set to "emergency only".  All other fields are optional.
• Each student to have a minimum of 3 unique contacts (parent/guardian and any emergency contacts included)

TUSD uses the Contacts area from Enrollment and Data Confirmation in Aeries to call or email out to families. To verify your contact information is correct, please login to your Parent Portal, navigate to “Student Data -> Data Confirmation -> Contacts” to edit your contact information. 

For Parent/Guardian records we need the following fields:

• Last Name
• First Name
• Relationship
• Record Type
• Notification Preference
• Telephone Number
• Email
• Education Level
• Correspondence Language (if other than English)

Below is an example of a Parent/Guardian record being completed.

*Please note, the Notification preference being set to “Emergency Only” will only notify that contact in a true emergency. To receive any announcements from your school or district, the Notification Preference must be set to “General and Emergency”

**Messages being sent as “text messages” will only be sent to phone numbers listed in the “Mobile Phone” field.

With providing your phone and or email, you can further choose how you want to be notified in those areas.  ParentSquare allows you to set each modality as 1 of 3 options: Instant/Digest/Off.
