Message from the Superintendent
Dear AUSD Community,
As we come to the end of another school year, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to the entire AUSD community for your hard work, dedication, and unwavering commitment to the success of our schools and students. Together, we have accomplished so much this year and made an incredible impact in the lives of students.
Even during the difficult and challenging moments, our students shone brightly in so many areas – a true testament to the tireless efforts of the teachers, staff members, parents, and of the students themselves. As we head into the summer months, I wish you all a wonderful break filled with relaxation, rejuvenation, and quality time with family and friends. I look forward to seeing everyone when you return in August, ready to continue our collective mission of providing the best education, opportunities, and support for our students.
A special message for the parents of our high school seniors:
As your child graduates from high school, I want to congratulate both students and parents on this significant achievement. This is an exciting time for your family, and I know you are extremely proud of all your child has accomplished. Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education and for your partnership with us throughout their academic journey. It has been a pleasure to watch these young men and women grow and develop over the years, and I have no doubt they will continue to do amazing things in the future. As your child moves on to the next chapter of their life, they will face new challenges and opportunities, but with your love, support, and guidance, they will be well-equipped to navigate them. Once again congratulations to you and your child on this incredible accomplishment. I wish you all the best in the future.
Again, thank you to everyone for a wonderful year…and have a fantastic summer!
In partnership,
Denise R. Jaramillo, Ed.D.
Superintendent

| Congratulations to our Year 1 and Year 2 Induction Teachers. AUSD is fortunate to have such a large group of talented teachers, who we hope they will have a long and successful career with us! Thank you to the mentors, administrators, and colleagues who have guided and supported these teachers during these important early years of their educational careers. | Monterey Highlands PTA organized a successful Boosterthon Husky Run to raise funds for outdoor equipment and furniture for the school. They exceeded their goal and earned a schoolwide prize of high-fiving school staff with shaving cream. Can you recognize which Highlands staff members are beneath all that shaving cream? | Throughout AUSD, students of all ages participated in the May Harvest of the Month (HOTM): CARROTS. Students learned nutritional information and interesting facts (including that they come in many other colors besides orange) and enjoyed their favorite part of HOTM -- sampling. |

| Under the leadership of drama teacher Jennifer Langford and music teacher Danika Klebe, Garfield School performed their spectacular production of the musical Matilda Jr. to a full house. They presented a full production with over a dozen musical numbers. Bravo to the entire cast and crew! | Recently, the sixth graders at Park School held their first Field Day. The students had a blast on the interactive obstacle course and other inflatables. | Instead of a traditional Open House, Ramona School held their Project-Based Learning (PBL) Exhibition. The school invited the school community to come and wander the campus as students explained what they've learned throughout the school year. See the presentations slides above for more information. |
