Good Morning Shadow Hills Families!
We had a wonderful turnout for our i-Ready Parent Information session. If you were unable to attend or would like to rewatch, the recording can be found here: https://cainc.zoom.us/rec/share/v6m1NfFPfxZrRAcCdQBYeg0rRStDHw592naNPNxaiT6TQDXKTkLx8KMvGznq8uSP.aPiGLk5eWQNnZubA
In addition, the i-Ready support team wanted to ensure that all families have access to the i-Ready family center, which can be found here: https://i-readycentral.com/familycenter/
Please reach out to your child's teacher for any further information.
I hope you have a great rest of the day!

Dear AUSD Families,
As a reminder, masks are required indoors at school for all students regardless of vaccination status (unless there is a medical exemption). If a student does not have a mask or face shield the school will provide one. Families who do not adhere to the mask policy will be asked to enroll in independent study through our home school program at Mountain View Learning Academy.
Please know that we are focused on ensuring all of our schools remain safe and healthy and open for in-person learning. Again, thank you for your support and for continuing to keep the politics out of our classrooms so that our staff can truly focus on helping each of our students reach their full potential this school year.

Dear AUSD Families
Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year. We are so glad to be starting the school year and are truly looking forward to welcoming each of your children to campus tomorrow.
In the best of years, opening school is often stressful. However, opening schools in a highly politicized time creates tremendous pressure and demands. I ask that you give our staff the grace to figure out how everything will work, including adapting to using outdoor learning spaces and managing the many requirements and protocols. I also ask that you assume positive intentions. We truly want our students in school.
Like all communities, there exists a range of opinions and political beliefs. In fact, it is one of the important qualities that makes Alpine such a unique and special place. I ask, however, that you keep the politics out of our schools. Tomorrow is for our students.
They will have the chance to begin the time-honored tradition of beginning school, meeting and greeting new and old friends, learning alongside peers, going to recess and lunch and so much more. These are special moments that we want our students to experience and relish.
Unlike many other schools across the county, you are welcome to walk your student to class in the morning if you wish. We ask that you stay only briefly at school and let us begin the first day of learning as quickly as possible. Our students have missed being alongside their friends and we want the day to be special.
As a reminder, our staff will have masks and face shields available on campus for students needing them. Medical exemption forms will also be available in the school office.
In addition, as you may have heard, many school districts are canceling or limiting their busing due to a lack of bus drivers. While we will continue to offer busing to our students, we are also facing a shortage of bus drivers. In fact, we are hiring for many positions across the District including Bus Drivers, Child Nutrition Staff, Custodians, Instructional Assistants, Campus Safety Assistants, and more. If you are interested in a position or know of someone, please have them call the District office at 619-445-3236. At present, many of our routes are reaching capacity and will only be able to expand if we are able to hire more drivers.
Lastly, each year I am reminded that the first day of school is one of the happiest days of the year. Everyone - students, teachers, parents, and administrators - are filled with anticipation, hope, and excitement. I hope that we can once again ensure that tomorrow goes into our students’ memory banks as a great day. With your support, we will make that happen.
Thank you again for your patience and continued support. Onward and upward!
