Each year schools are required to complete and submit information to determine how much Federal Impact Aid funding they will receive. The amount of Federal Impact Aid Alpine Union receives is determined by the actual number of our students whose parents are employed by the Federal Government, are active military, or are living or working on property owned by the Federal Government or living or working on property owned by a Native American Tribal Government. To qualify for funding, we need a completed survey form for every student attending our District.
Please take a moment to complete the survey by December 1, 2020.

AUSD's phase three reopening will occur on January 19, 2021. Students will return for face to face learning four days a week.
Dear CELC Parents,
Good morning CELC families.The AUSD Board of Trustees voted at Tuesday night’s board meeting to implement our Phase III Learning model on January 19, 2021. In phase III, our face-to-face students will attend school four days a week - Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Wednesdays will remain a distance learning day to allow for deep cleaning in the classrooms and other areas of the campus. We will also continue to offer a 100% Distance Learning Model. The Hybrid A/B Model will no longer be offered.
During phase III, there will be very few changes to the instructional day. Our 100% Distance Learning students will remain in their homerooms and Zoom at various times during the day. These Zoom times might change depending on the teacher and/or program. Your child’s teacher will be providing more information if there are any changes to the day. CELC will remain on the same schedule with staggered drop off and pick up times.
We realize that this decision might prompt families to consider changing their child’s current model. If you desire to change your student’s learning model to 100% Distance Learning or to Face-to-Face four days a week, you must notify the office by Thursday, November 19th at 2:00 PM. Otherwise, current Hybrid Face-to-Face students will automatically switch to Face-to-Face four days a week and current 100% Distance Learning students will remain in 100% Distance Learning. Please either call or email the school office ONLY if you want to change your current learning model.
Office: 619-619-659-8250
Email: mbarkley@alpineschools.net or cbrown@alpineschools.net.
Lastly, we are asking that students stay in their learning model of choice from January 19, 2021 until March 8th which marks the beginning of our third trimester. Changes from one learning model to the next will not be allowed unless your child is on quarantine from a COVID-19 symptom or has had a close contact with a positive COVID-19 case. On March 8th, we will open up the opportunity to change models.
Thank you for your understanding and patience through these unprecedented times. We appreciate it immensely. We will be sending out further communications prior to January 19, 2021 to review the schedules and COVID-19 policies/procedures.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me. We look forward to seeing the students four days a week!
Sincerely,
Tamara Ripke, Principal

Dear AUSD Families:
As we enter week six of our hybrid learning model I wanted to provide some important updates. First, I want to sincerely thank all of our staff, parents, and families for their support and effort these past weeks. As one of the first public school districts in the county to reopen schools, we were chartering a new and uncertain path.
We built our reopening plan on strong health and safety protocols, and the belief that our students would be best served by learning in person at school with their teachers. I am extremely grateful and appreciative of all the hard work and collaboration that has made our reopening of schools both safe and a model for other districts.
Additionally, I am pleased to share that on Tuesday, October 20th, the Board of Trustees approved the installation of indoor air filtration systems in all of our classrooms and buildings. These new systems will be similar to what you find in hospitals and medical settings. I am proud to share that we are among the first school districts in the state to install these units. A HUGE thanks to our Board of Trustees for ensuring that Alpine Union continues to place the health and safety of our students and staff front and center, while also setting an example for how to effectively and safely reopen schools and plan for the future.
A Superintendent’s Advisory Task Force has also been working to develop plans for our Phase Three reopening. At our Board of Trustees meeting on November 10th, the Board will discuss the Task Force recommendations and a target date for a full return to in-person learning.
A month ago we implemented COVID-19 testing for all AUSD staff. Every two weeks free drive through COVID-19 testing and flu shots are available at JMMS. The testing plan has been expanded, and all community members, students, and families are welcome to receive a free flu shot or a COVID-19 test during our test days. I hope you and your family members will take advantage of this free service. Dates are posted on our website and social media.
Last, we have expanded our Grab and Go meals, and are offering meal pick up on Mondays during the day from 11:00 a.m.- 12:30 p.m. and in the evening from 5:00 p.m.- 6:30 p.m. Meals are available free of charge for any school-age child under the age of 18. Please help spread the word so that we can continue to support our Alpine families and community members.
As always, thank you for your continued support. We are all in this together, and we can only get through it together.
Stay safe and healthy,
Dr. Rich Newman
Proudest Superintendent on Earth
