Go Cubs! Pride! Pride! Pride!

AUHS Weekly Report

January 23rd, 2025

LCAP Goal #1. Anderson Union High School District students will be college or career ready upon graduation.

Attendance

AUHS staff will continue to enforce attendance and punctuality to help all of our students become dependible and timely to their responsibilities, and we continue to work with families and students at all times possible. We hope to convey an understanding of areas related to attendance.

Routines: Establishing a routine of daily attendance helps reduce stress at home, and supports a habit of attendance that will help your teenager get and keep a job.

Engagement: Being in school helps students to get to know each other and school staff and builds relationships that can motivate participation in learning.

Access to Resources: Schools provide access to valuable resources such as meals, health, mental health supports and fun enrichment activities such as sports, clubs, music, and other afterschool and summer programs.

Learning: Students who attend school regularly do better academically in middle school and are more likely to graduate from high school.

Feeder School Offerings

After meeting with AMS Superintendent Jason Provence, Principal Filicia Ross, and Curriculum & Instruction Holly Jones on Jan. 14, Mr. Parker, Mr. Mason, and Mr. Safford determined a strong interest to partner in providing an 8th grade Algebra1 at AUHS and sharing a Theater and/or Construction teacher in the 2025-2026 school year. This partnership would benefit Anderson 8th grade students by helping them explore and prepare for College and Career.

STROP

AUHSD counselors and administrators attended the annual STROP luncheon on Thursday January 16th at STROP center. We learned that bell schedules would be staying the same, they are receiving new grant money, expanding their EMT program with a emergency scene simulator that can only be found at STROP in Shasta County, and changing some facilitated courses to dual enrolled courses with their instructors.

Leadership

AUHS Leadership

Our leadership class is prepping for Winter Homecoming (January 21st-24th). The homecoming rally will take place on January 24th. We will also be hosting 8th grade introduction on January 24th where 8th graders come up to the high school to preview some of the courses Anderson provides as well as experience a homecoming rally.

Counseling

Counselors are signing students up for Adult School, prepping for class visits for class selection, FAFSA completion, and 8th grade presentations.

FFA

AUHS FFA

FFA has had a very productive week with over 35 students volunteering at the Anderson Rotary Crab Feed Last Weekend. Projects are being completed at the School Farm including; our new Heavy Equipment Shop, burning of brush material, managing vegetation, and preparing the property for our gravel delivery. This week 17 of our members will be attending the MFE/ALA conference increasing their leadership skills and meeting other FFA Members. Finally as the week comes to an end the Heavy Equipment class participated in 8th grade preview day where they instructed 8th grade students on operating the excavator to pick up and move a tire!

Cub Connection

Cub Connection will be hosting AMS 8th graders from Project Share once a month to participate in planned activities and get them accustomed to the high school after school program. We have started up “Week at a Glance” for students hanging out after school, staff members have a different activity planned Mon-Thurs on a rotating basis, here are some pictures from this last weeks activities.

Cub Connection will continue in the new year with Academic Supports, Physical Fitness and Enriching activities.

Upward Bound

AUHS is happy to have our beloved Upward Bound Advisor, Pam Dunlap, back on campus after two surgeries. Mrs. Dunlap has her students setting academic and personal goals for the second semester. The Summer Program is shaping up nicely using student suggestions of college campuses to visit this year as well as curriculum they are interested in. There is a big group of UCD Upward Bound Seniors this year (22) and who are working on completing their FAFSAs, applying for scholarships and completing their college matriculation steps for next year.

LCAP Goal #2. Anderson Union High School District will provide a safe, orderly, and responsive learning environment for all students.

Collaboration

We held our 2nd collaboration meeting of the month on Wednesday 1/22/25. Now that all departments have created their Essential Standards they worked on setting their 2nd semester PLC SMART Goals and Action Plans. Teachers will now work together throughout the remainder of this school year in Department PLC's through The Continuous Improvement Cycle.

Cafeteria

The AUHS cafeteria implemented electronic pin pads at the beginning of the new year. This will now allow them to ensure students are only receiving two free meals a day and help planning the number of meals to prepare with the data that they collect.

8th Grade Introduction

AUHS welcomed 215 students from AMS, Pacheco, Tree of Life, and Redding Colliegiate Academy. The event was organized and ran very well by Mrs. Wonder and her leadership students. We had six stations and a Homecoming Rally that provide students a chance to see what AUHS has to offer our incoming students.

Station 1: Culinary

Station 2: Cub Connection/Robotics

Station 3: Cub Connection/Robotics

Station 4: Athletics/Head Coaches

Station 5: Welding/Wood Shop

Station 6: Athletics/Head Coaches

PACE

The Parent Advisory and Community Engagement committee put on the Winter Homecoming breakfast, feeding basketball, cheer, wrestling, soccer and band. The event was held in the small gym from 7:00AM to 7:40AM with pancakes, sausage, and juice being served.

LCAP Goal #3. AUHS will develop and maintain a systematic method for partnering with parents, guardians and community members in the ongoing development of district programs and services.
