The staff and I are looking forward to the celebrations and activities coming up! Stay tuned for more information about our field day on Wednesday, June 8th.
Our Cubs will be showing off their skills next week during assessments. Teachers are preparing to do final assessments to see how much progress everyone has made! Assessment reports will be sent home with report cards on June 9th.

2022-23 Registration
COVID-19 Testing
CovX will continue to provide COVID testing in the Shadow Hills parking lot on Wednesdays only from 7:30 am to 12:30 pm. AUSD staff will be prioritized to move to the front of the line.
REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR CovX TESTING
CovX has notified us that the government testing reimbursements have changed the required information for patient testing. Please see below.
Human Resources and Service Administration (HRSA) will no longer be able to reimburse covid tests, therefore tests will now only go through insurance providers or a cash price. We unfortunately will not be able to run tests until we can confirm patient insurance information. We understand the difficulties in the transition, so we are available to assist with information submission or creating new patient registration forms.
This change will be effective for any samples received on 3/22/2022 and moving forward.
Please reference the links below for further information:
