Cash for Classrooms Campaign
Auxier is participating in the annual Chandler Education Foundation's Cash for Classrooms Campaign which funds enrichment grants for classrooms and schools across Chandler Unified School District. Even a small donation makes a big difference. Envelopes will come home last week and we ask you to consider giving what you can. If you'd prefer, you can also donate online at ChandlerCashForClassrooms.org. This year's focus will be to fund grants that prepare students for an increasingly technology driven workforce and world.
Donations of $100 or more will receive a State Forty Eight CEF shirt! For more information, visit ChandlerEdFoundation.org.
We've Got Spirit...Yes We Do!!
Come to your school wearing our school colors (red, white, blue, black) or your favorite Auxier shirt with uniform bottoms.
We can't wait to see your spirit!!

To Begin with the End in Mind...
- Define outcomes before we act
- Create & live by a personal mission statement
Leadership Tips...

Updated Quarantine Procedures...
August 23, 2021
Dear CUSD Families & Staff,
We are writing to inform you that the Maricopa County Department of Public Health has notified local school districts that they have the delegated authority to determine which contacts must be quarantined. This is outlined in the Arizona Revised Statutes Title 36, Chapter 6, Article 2 (36-624) and Arizona Administrative Code (R9-6-361)
Maricopa County Department of Public Health continues to follow CDC and Arizona Department of Public Health Services guidelines which defines close contact of a COVID-19 case as being any person within 6 feet for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more during a 24-hour period, regardless of whether masks were worn. Effective Wednesday, August 25, 2021 students who have close contact with an individual who has a confirmed case of COVID-19 and who are not fully vaccinated or have not tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 90 days are to quarantine (stay home) for up to 10 days, per county mandate.
Students may shorten the duration of a quarantine in three ways:
- Quarantine may end after 7 days if no symptoms have occurred and a documented negative result has been provided to the school. If choosing to return after seven days, the test sample must have been collected at least five days after exposure.
- If your child has been fully vaccinated and you voluntarily submit proof to the school. If 14 days have passed since your second dose in a two-dose series (or two weeks after a single dose vaccine), you do not have to quarantine.
- If your child previously tested positive for COVID-19 by PCR or antigen test, recovered and then completed his/her isolation period in the last 90 days.
As a safety measure please keep your child home if ill or shows Covid-19 symptoms. We continue to highly recommend face coverings as an additional layer of mitigation. For updates and continuous information, click here to view our mitigation plan in its entirety.
CUSD Mitigation Plan
UPDATED 8/9/2021
In alignment with Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH), CUSD strongly recommends that students and staff wear masks while on school campuses. School sites will maintain a heightened awareness of student and staff behavior regarding mask bullying. If mandated by MCDPH or Executive Order, CUSD will require masks for students and staff.
You are welcome to visit the CUSD website to read more about the current mitigation strategies: 21-22 School Opening Plan
