Student Engagement Program
High School Seniors Only
“Drive for Student Engagement” Program
For the tenth consecutive year, the Tustin Unified School District is partnering with Tustin Toyota to increase overall student engagement and attendance by highlighting senior role models. All seniors who maintain daily engagement, outstanding attendance when healthy, and positive behavior at each of TUSD’s high schools will be eligible for entrance in a lottery for a new Toyota Corolla generously donated by Tustin Toyota.
Program Details/Rules/Eligibility:
- All participants in the program must be high school seniors who attend one of TUSD’s schools – Beckman, Foothill, Hillview, Tustin or Tustin Connect – in the 2022-23 school year.
- To be eligible for an entry in the lottery a student must be at school when they are healthy and participating in class daily throughout their senior year specifically from September 19, 2022 through April 14, 2023.
- The only absences that will keep a student eligible for the drawing will be religiously affiliated or COVID related absences. Discipline related absences including excessive tardiness to class or a suspension of any kind will disqualify a student from the drawing.
- A list of students who remain eligible for the drawing will be available at school attendance offices at the end of each quarter. A final list of eligible students will be posted one week prior to the drawing.
- It is a student’s responsibility to monitor their own eligibility and to resolve any discrepancies with the school attendance office before the end of the school day on Wednesday, May 10, 2023 (two school days prior to drawing).
- The drawing for the donated vehicle from Tustin Toyota will take place at the TUSD Board of Education Meeting on Monday, May 15, 2023. Attendance is not necessary at the May 15 Board Meeting in order to win the vehicle. Only the winning school will be announced at this time. The presentation of the vehicle to the winning student will be made at the winning student’s graduation ceremony in late May/early June 2023.
Programa “Impulsando la Participación de los Estudiantes”
Por décimo año consecutivo, el Distrito Escolar Unificado de Tustin se ha asociado con Tustin Toyota para aumentar la participación y la asistencia de los estudiantes en general, destacando los estudiantes modelos a seguir para los alumnos de último año de preparatoria. Todos los estudiantes del último año de preparatoria que mantengan un compromiso diario, una asistencia sobresaliente cuando estén saludables y un compromiso positivo en cada una de las escuelas preparatorias del TUSD serán elegibles para participar en un sorteo por un nuevo Toyota Corolla donado generosamente por Tustin Toyota.
Detalles del Programa/ Reglas/ Elegibilidad:
• Todos los participantes del programa deben ser estudiantes del último año de preparatoria que asistan a una de las escuelas del TUSD - Beckman, Foothill, Hillview, Tustin o Tustin Connect – en el año escolar 2022-23.
• Para ser elegible para participar en el sorteo, un estudiante debe estar en la escuela cuando esté saludable y participando en la clase todos los días durante su último año, específicamente desde el 19 de septiembre hasta el 14 de abril de 2023.
• Las únicas ausencias que mantendrán a un estudiante elegible para el sorteo serán las ausencias por afiliación religiosa o relacionadas con COVID. Las ausencias relacionadas con la disciplina, incluidas las llegadas tardes excesivas en la clase o una suspensión de cualquier tipo, descalificarán al estudiante del sorteo.
• Una lista de los estudiantes que siguen siendo elegibles para el sorteo estará disponible en las oficinas de asistencia de la escuela al final de cada trimestre. Se publicará una lista final de los estudiantes elegibles una semana antes del sorteo.
• Es responsabilidad del estudiante controlar su elegibilidad y resolver cualquier discrepancia con la oficina de asistencia de la escuela, antes del final del día escolar del miércoles 10 de mayo de 2023. (dos días escolares antes del sorteo).
• El sorteo del vehículo donado por Tustin Toyota se llevará a cabo en la reunión de la Mesa Directiva de Educación del TUSD el lunes 15 de mayo de 2023. No es necesario asistir a la reunión de la Mesa Directiva del 15 de mayo para ganar el vehículo. La presentación del vehículo al estudiante ganador se realizará en la ceremonia de graduación del estudiante ganador a finales de mayo/principios de junio de 2023.

- A list of students who remain eligible for the drawing will be available at each school on April 21, 2023. A final list of eligible students will be compiled one week prior to the drawing.
