Good morning future, current and former Cubs. It is time to launch the 2020-21 “Cubs in the Community” campaign. Connecting with kids is one of the most essential part of building relationships and fostering learning. Mrs. Ripke has set a goal to connect with 100 future, current, and former Cubs in the community by the 100th day of school. If you spot Mrs. Ripke out in the community, please say hi and take a picture with her. Former CELC staff count too! Our pictures may look different this year due to social distancing; however, all of the love will still be there! She can’t wait to hand out hugs again when it is safe. Her is her first Cub of the year!

Come join Mrs. Ripke on Thursday, August 6 at 6:30pm to learn more about what to expect for the upcoming school year, including distance learning schedules, supply distributions, assessments, re-opening procedures, and more! Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89034748336

Current and incoming Cubs, please take the District survey to choose your preferred “Learning Model” in preparation of our possible return to campus. Even though we are beginning the school year with Distance Learning on August 24, we need all of our families to select which model they would like once we are able to come back on campus for face-to-face learning. If you have not already, please fill out the survey by Friday, July 31st. Thank you! We appreciate your support and input. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PSV68FS

The guidebook along with all communications and updates are posted on our COVID-19 page on our website.

​We are continuing our plans to reopen schools on August 19. To ensure that your child is placed in the learning model of your choice and we are able to staff appropriately, the 2020-21 Student Learning Model Registration form is required to be filled out for each student. The registration period will be open until July 27, 2020. If a registration form is not completed for each child we will not be able to place your child in a learning model. Parents registering for a learning model will have the flexibility of changing models. We will provide a window at the end of September for families to reassess their learning model choice for their children.

Dear AUSD families, I hope this email finds you and your family safe and well. We know the last several months have been challenging for everyone as we have adjusted to the changes that have occurred as a result of COVID-19. We wanted to provide you with an update on the preparations our schools have been making to reopen our facilities and resume in-classroom instruction. First, as we have stated before, our goal remains that if the rules and regulations permit schools to operate in person, we believe it is our moral imperative, when safe and possible, to provide the option for students to return to school and learn in classrooms with teachers. Our focus remains on reopening schools in August with students attending classes in person. In short, we plan to offer in-person learning Tuesday - Friday. In addition, we will also offer a full-time distance learning model, independent study, and a homeschool option. In the coming days, you will be asked to complete the 2020-21 Student Learning Model Registration form. It is essential that you complete it as soon as possible so we can effectively plan staffing models and ensure that your child is placed in the learning model of your choice. Parents registering for a learning model will have the flexibility of changing models. We will provide a window at the end of September for families to reassess their learning model choice for their children. As we continue to move forward together, I want to thank you for your continued patience, support, commitment, and trust in our District. While school procedures and protocols may look different in our new reality, I want to reassure you that the heart of our work remains focused on providing the best educational programs to our students. Our commitment to our mission is unwavering and we are proud to be able to serve our Alpine community. Sincerely, Rich Newman Proud Superintendent
