Thank you Alpine Sheriff's Department for being present on our campuses. We appreciate your support!

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!

As we continue our intruder assemblies and drills, we want to thank our Alpine Sheriff's Department for its support and collaboration in keeping our kids safe.

Huge thanks to our Board members, parents, students, teachers, staff, administrators, community, and business leaders for being part of the AUSD Design Team. Last night the team launched our work to create a Portrait of an AUSD Learner.
