Hawks' Weekly Update

Hawks' Weekly Update #31

Greetings,

I want to start with a reminder to change your clocks for Daylight Savings time.

With the extensive rain we have had, our lost and found collection has grown larger than ever. Please stop by and look for lost treasures. We will donate the remaining jackets, sweatshirts, hats, water bottles, lunch boxes and other items on March 18.

In addition, a reminder that our Spring Open House and Art Show is on Thursday, March 21 from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm.

I could also use your support with reserving the small lot by the cafeteria/auditorium for disabled students and staff. Please do not park on the grass at the school.

Finally, I wanted to be sure you have access to the resources we are using to teach children about boundaries. Our school social worker, Ms. Stark, along with the school social workers from Creekside and Joan MacQueen, taught lessons on these essential issues. If you have any questions about the materials, feel free to contact me.

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

Please don't forget to call the school if your child is absent. You can call and leave a voicemail at (619) 445-2977 in the evening before the absence or even early before the office opening. Thank you for supporting this critical school function.

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.
