Hawks' Weekly Update #34
Greetings all,

This Wednesday is our First Grade Orientation at 3:15 pm.

Around Alpine Union Video
Dive into Empathy. Join Noel, Crosby, and Allie on an episode of ‘Around Alpine Union’ as we spotlight the virtue of empathy, a cornerstone of our 'Portrait of a Learner' framework. Step into someone else's shoes, understand their feelings, and create a community where everyone feels heard, understood, and connected. Let's practice empathy together: pay attention, think before you act, and treat everyone with respect. Together, we foster a compassionate community!

Online Library!
Did you know that Alpine Union School District has a valuable online resource available to all students — the Sora digital library? Sora provides access to a diverse collection of books, including audiobooks, and can be accessed at any time. Here's how your child can make the most of this resource:
1. Accessing Sora:
Log into their Google account
Navigate to Clever (lower left side of Chromebook)
Click on the Sora app
Once in Sora, log in using your Google credentials. This is a one-time requirement, and subsequent logins will be automatic.
Note: If you're unsure about your student’s Google login information, please reach out to your child’s teacher.
2. Exploring the San Diego County Public Library:
In addition to our library, students can also access books from the San Diego County Public Library through Sora:
After logging into Sora, click on the down arrow next to Alpine Union School District (under EXPLORE) on the top left-hand side
Search for San Diego County Library and click on San Diego County Library Digital Media
Choose your desired book
Click "borrow"
Select Alpine Union School District
Click on the blue bar
Click on your student's email address again
Click on borrow again
Access the book by clicking on “shelf” at the bottom of the screen
Attendance
Independent Study Contracts
If your student is going to be absent for an extended period, please make sure to request an Independent Study Contract from the office at least one week in advance. This will ensure that your child's teacher has ample time to prepare assignments, and your student can receive attendance credit during their absence.
