AUSD's phase three reopening will occur on January 19, 2021. Students will return for face to face learning four days a week.
Dear Shadow Hills Families,
As some of you might be aware, the AUSD Board of Trustees voted at Tuesday night’s board meeting to implement our Phase 3 learning model on January 19, 2021. In phase three, our face-to-face students will attend school four days a week - Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. We will keep the same drop-off and pick-up schedule. 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 Distance Learning model.
During phase 3, there will be very few changes to the instructional day. Our 100% Distance Learning students all move to one homeroom, either with their Spanish teacher or English teacher, and Zoom at various times during the day. These Zoom times might change depending on your child’s grade level. Your child’s teacher will be providing more information on exactly how this will look within their class and grade level.
We realize that this decision might cause some of you to change which type of learning your student currently participates in. 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. The hybrid model will not be offered during this time. Once again, please either call or email the school office ONLY if you want to change your current learning model - 619-445-2977, tlyle@alpineschools.net or lmcdowell@alpineschools.net.
Lastly, we are asking that students stay in their learning model of choice from January 19th 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 close contact with a positive COVID-19 case. On March 8th, we will allow parents to switch models.
Thank you for your understanding and patience through these unprecedented times. We appreciate it immensely.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any further questions.
Sincerely,
Yvette Maier

Dia de Los Muertos honors the dead with festivals and lively celebrations, a typical Latin American custom that combines indigenous Aztec ritual. Assured that the dead will be insulted by mourning or sadness, Dia de Los Muertos celebrates the lives of the deceased with food, drink, parties, and activities the dead enjoyed in life. Dia de Los Muertos recognizes death as a natural part of the human experience, a continuum with birth, childhood, and growing up to become a contributing member of the community. On Dia de Los Muertos, the dead are also a part of the community, awakened from their eternal sleep to share celebrations with their loved ones.
November is National American Indian Heritage Month. The Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum join in paying tribute to the rich ancestry and traditions of Native Americans.
