Auburn teachers build on each student's strengths, interests, and needs and use this knowledge to positively impact learning. You can expect regular communication with your child's teacher around student progress in the activities listed in the Continuous Learning Plan outlined below for Sixth through Eighth Grade students.

Families must continue to maintain a daily routine during school closures; be mindful of balancing think time, work time and play time for health and well being. This may include getting breakfast and lunch from your local site. To find out where breakfast and lunch are being served, click here.
