“Drive for Student Engagement” Program

For the eighth consecutive year, the Tustin Unified School District is partnering with Tustin Toyota to increase overall daily student engagement throughout the District by highlighting seniors who model exemplary engagement and achievement. All seniors who maintain perfect daily attendance at TUSD’s high schools will be eligible for entrance in a lottery for a brand new 2021 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 four high schools – Beckman, Foothill, Hillview or Tustin – in the 2020-2021 school year.
- To be eligible for an entry in the lottery a student must be engaged with class work throughout their senior year: August 13, 2020 through April 16, 2021.
- The only excused absences that will keep a student eligible for the drawing will be illness or religiously affiliated. Discipline related absences including excessive tardiness to class or a suspension of any kind would disqualify a student from the drawing.
- A list of students who remain eligible for the drawing will be posted at each school 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 high school attendance office before the end of the school day on Wednesday, May 12, 2021 (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 17, 2021. Attendance is not necessary at the May 17 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 between May 26 – 28, 2021.
Programa “Impulsando la Participación de los Estudiantes”
Por octavo año consecutivo, el Distrito Escolar Unificado de Tustin se asocia con Tustin Toyota para aumentar la participación general diaria de los estudiantes en todo el Distrito al destacar a los estudiantes de doceavo grado que modelan una participación y un logro ejemplares. Todos los estudiantes de doceavo grado que mantengan una participación perfecta diariamente en las escuelas preparatorias del TUSD serán elegibles para participar en un sorteo para un nuevo Toyota Corolla 2021 donado generosamente por Tustin Toyota.
Detalles del programa/reglas/elegibilidad:
- Todos los participantes en el programa deben ser estudiantes de doceavo grado que asisten a una de las cuatro escuelas preparatorias del TUSD: Beckman, Foothill, Hillview o Tustin, en el año escolar 2020-21.
- Para ser eligible para participar en el sorteo, el estudiante debe participar en el trabajo de clase durante su último año: Del 13 de agosto de 2020 hasta el 16 de abril de 2021.
- Las únicas ausencias justificadas que mantendrán a un estudiante elegible para el sorteo serán enfermedad y afiliación religiosa. Las ausencias relacionadas con la disciplina, incluidas las llegadas tardes excesivas a clase o una suspensión de cualquier tipo, descalificarían a un estudiante del sorteo.
- Al final de cada trimestre, se publicará una lista de los estudiantes que siguen siendo elegibles para el sorteo en cada escuela. Se publicará una lista final de estudiantes elegibles una semana antes del sorteo.
- Es la responsabilidad del estudiante controlar su propia elegibilidad y resolver cualquier discrepancia con la oficina de asistencia de la escuela preparatoria antes del final del día escolar el miércoles 12 de mayo de 2021 (dos días escolares antes del sorteo).
- El sorteo del vehículo donado de Tustin Toyota se llevará a cabo en la reunión de la Mesa Directiva de Educación del TUSD el lunes 17 de mayo de 2021. No es necesario asistir a la reunión de la Mesa Directiva del 17 de mayo para ganar el vehículo. Solo se anunciará la escuela ganadora en este momento. La presentación del vehículo al estudiante ganador se realizará en la ceremonia de graduación del estudiante ganador entre el 26 y el 28 de mayo de 2021.
