With a specific focus on need, Teacher Mini Grants provide an opportunity for AUSD teachers to apply for items that will benefit their students but that are not covered in the school budget. Many of these grants focus on teachers at Title I schools and special programs, such as Special Ed and English Language Learning.
Our After School Enrichment class listings are up, so please take a look at what’s on offer this Fall! New classes include Coding with Athena, Ukulele, Acrylic Painting and Flag Football. Every school has their own custom offerings, but students may attend classes at other schools. In addition, we have Alameda Wide classes (Grades 1-8) that are specifically designed for students from any school to attend, including Middle Schoolers. Click here to learn more.
