Dear Parents/Guardians,
As you know, San Diego County may experience some intense weather this weekend because of Hurricane Hilary, which has formed in the Pacific Ocean, just south of Baja California. Although forecasters say it’s likely to be downgraded to a tropical storm by the time it reaches our county, there is the potential for extreme weather, such as high winds, flash flooding, rain, and thunderstorms.
We will monitor the storm as it makes its way toward the region and will communicate with you through our regular channels if the storm impacts school facilities or operations.
We encourage you to sign up for Alert San Diego and visit the County of San Diego website to enhance your preparedness for storms and flooding. Please also download our District app, which is available in the Apple App Store and on Google Play.
Sincerely,
Dr. Rich Newman
Proudest Superintendent on Earth

As our Superintendent for the day meets her AUSD staff, she was very generous in granting many requests such as a 3-day weekend, higher pay raise, working in PJs, and a taco cart and Starbucks on campuses.
Please join us in congratulating Nancy Eichelberger, AUSD Classified Employee of the Year! Nancy is a ray of sunshine and of course was all smiles as she received this much-deserved honor. The Teacher of the Year and Classified Employee of the Year from each site will be recognized at our April 19th Board meeting.
We had a wonderful time interviewing 5th graders at Shadow Hills for positions at BizTown. The future looks very bright!
