NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF
We are very excited to provide mobile technology for our students and continue to implement our plan to improve AUSD and make it the Destination District of East County.
EAST COUNTY EDUCATION SCHOOLS ALLIANCE - AUSD IS ON CENTER STAGE AND IS THE DESTINATION DISTRICT OF EAST COUNTY
We are thrilled to share that Dr. Newman and the superintendents from east county have created the East County Education Schools Alliance. As an Alliance, we are committed to ensuring that the way teaching and learning occurs for our students evolves to ensure that each student reaches their potential. We are dedicated to improving opportunities for students and staff to collaborate and to build a community of learners that works together to bring passion, creativity and collaboration to schools.
We are thrilled to share that staff from the following districts joined us at JMMS on Monday, April 24 for a day of inspiration and training (Dehesa, Mountain Empire, Cajon Valley, Julian High, Julian Elementary, Lakeside, Lemon Grove, San Pasqual, and Poway). George Couros, an international education speaker, provided the keynote speech and staff from participating Districts engaged in a range of Google Suite trainings. Check out the pictures below of our staff learning and being inspired.
AUSD CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR - CHARLENE BROWN
Charlene Brown:Charlene is an incredible secretary at Creekside. She has worked for our District for over 13 years. During those years she served as a playground supervisor, librarian and school secretary. If you have met Charlene then you know she is a very warm and caring individual that creates a welcoming environment in the office. She is always thinking about others, which is evident through her community service dedication. Charlene was PTA president for two years at Shadow Hills and served on PTA for over ten years. In addition to PTA, Charlene led a Girl Scout troupe for over 11 years. She has been an incredibly positive influence on our student. Congratulations Charlene.
AUSD TEACHER OF THE YEAR - LYNETTE ELLIS
Lynette Ellis teaches 3rd grade at Alpine Elementary School. Her colleagues say that Lynette is a true leader, one that sees the genius in every kid, empowers them to be in charge of their own learning, and embraces the idea that change starts within yourself. She really takes the time to get to know her students and design lessons that fit the needs of her class. She is willing to take risks, but not without considering all points of view. Her head is exploding with creative ideas and she pushes her colleagues to think and grow. Congratulations Lynette.

LCAP PARENT MEETING - MAY 3
California's Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) was enacted in 2013–14, and it replaced the previous school finance system which had been in existence for roughly 40 years. One of the goals of the LCFF is to simplify how state funding is provided to local educational agencies (LEAs). The Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) shows how these funds will improve student outcomes and performance for all students.
