The American Rescue Plan which President Biden signed on March 11th will send significant amounts of one-time funding to schools and colleges nationwide. In California, $15.3 billion will be allocated to K-12 schools, while another $5 billion is going to California’s colleges and universities. For more specific information on how much funding our district will receive and how it compares to other districts around the state, see here: Find out how much California school districts and charter schools will get in Covid relief | Database

This Week’s Hybrid School Schedule
Here is the school schedule this week.
Free Breakfast and Lunch Cafe Meals
Free breakfast and lunch meals are available during school days to all AUHSD students. These meals are “grab and go” in order to minimize lines. Meals include an entree, fruit, and milk. To ensure accurate meal counts, student IDs are scanned at meal pick-up. These free meals are courtesy of a USDA waiver. No a la carte food items will be offered at this time. Please direct any questions about this program to foodservices@auhsdschools.org.
Academy Reminder
Students participating in either the Hybrid In-Person Model or Fully Remote Model will both have access to Academy twice per week. Access the schedules here. And please help your students remember these tips:
Reminder: Required Health Screening
All students and all school visitors are required to complete a COVID-19 screening every day that they come to school. Health screenings should be completed in the morning prior to arriving on campus. AHS recommends that students use the cell/mobile set up as it allows for a daily text reminder. Email registration is also available.
AUHSD COVID and Antibody Testing
Be sure to take advantage of AUHSD weekly testing services scheduled each Monday at one of the district’s high school campuses. Watch your email for weekly reminders and a link to make your appointment.

Attendance Procedures for All Students
Here’s a refresher about attendance processes for students and parents:
A copy of AHS Attendance Procedures can be found online here.
In its fourth week of LPIE’s “It’s Up to All of Us” video series, parents Yukie Fujimoto and Peter Marchetti share why they value the depth and breadth of classes available to our children. LPIE funds 15 electives at Acalanes that provide expanded learning opportunities so that your student can discover and explore different interests.
49% of Acalanes parents have donated this year. Every gift is matched dollar-for-dollar in March. Will you take advantage of the matching gift and donate today? It’s up to all of us.
