We hope our Dons are settling in and getting ready for our first week of Distance Learning starting tomorrow. As we mentioned last week, please note the slight adjustments to the counselor assignments. We had to adjust to make the distribution more even. We know it can be hard to shift, (hard for us, too!) but we hope this means better access for everyone. We will be posting links to calendars soon. In the meantime, email is the best way to reach us.
Class Schedules
The schedule change request form will be open until Friday, August 21. Students need to use their @auhsdschools.org to use the form. As always, the priority is fixing errors and everything is subject to space available. Students will be notified via email if there is a change. Please follow the schedule that is in Aeries. In the event that a change is made, Aeries is updated immediately. Canvas will update overnight. Students cannot start a new class after Monday, August 24. Students may still drop a class (depending on credits and remaining schedule) until the end of the first quarter.

Welcome Dons to your College and Career Center (CCC)! I am available for individual student meetings and would love to work with your Don. Students can sign up here. I will be hosting an academy on Wednesdays and Fridays for seniors to work together on college applications. I’ve also booked admissions rep visits for juniors and seniors so make sure your interested student checks Naviance and signs up to attend via Zoom on Mondays. We have so many events and resources to support our Dons!

We hope the first week was positive for your students. Like the entire Dons community, we have much to learn about new technologies and procedures. We’ve been busy connecting with students who’ve reached out, as well as developing content for upcoming events. We are planning brief visits to virtual classrooms that will take place over the next month. We’ll introduce ourselves, wellness services and how to access them, and emphasize the need for students to prioritize their mental health. You can find our referral form here. And in the spirit of supporting the new habits and attitudes we must cultivate for distance learning, here is a video on neuroplasticity (our brain’s innate capacity to reorganize itself based on experience.) Our theme for this semester is “Try It On with Wellness” — we hope you’ll join us in trying on new ways of doing things and new ways of living.

Wellness is excited to get back to work in support of all of the Dons! We are training, planning, and anticipating needs. The most important thing that students and parents should know is that they can access the referral for services here. In the first few weeks we will be pushing into classrooms to connect. We are planning a variety of offerings that will proactively support mental health. Parent education workshops are in development and coming soon. Social-emotional learning student modules will be developed. Happy start of the school year! Please follow us on Instagram.
