AUHSD | 2021-2022 Health and Safety Plan AUHSD GOVERNING BOARD Christopher Severson, President Message from the Superintendent Kristin Connelly, Clerk Christopher Grove Bob Hockett Nancy Kendzierski August 2021 Student Member: Dear Acalanes Union High School Community, Isabelle Bennette We have all felt the prolonged hardship of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our experiences differ, but your sacrifices for community, family and personal safety and wellbeing have undoubtedly been significant. We know that the disruption to regular on-campus instructional and extracurricular programs last year has brought additional challenges to many. And we know that students benefit from in-person learning, and safely returning to in-person instruction must be a priority. The foundational principle to our 2021-2022 planning has been to provide access to safe and full in- person instruction to all students. Throughout our planning process, we have been following the requirements and considering the recommendations and general guidance of the California Department of Public Health, reviewing the general advisory guidance of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and following the local orders of Contra Costa Health Services.

  • Tau Beta Pi CA-Alpha the Engineering Honor Society University of California, Berkeley Annual Chapter Report : Fall 2011-Spring 2012 Dear Reader
    Tau Beta Pi CA-Alpha The Engineering Honor Society University of California, Berkeley Annual Chapter Report : Fall 2011-Spring 2012 Dear reader, It is with great pride that I present to you this compilation of CA-A’s projects for the 2011-2012 school year. Through the combined efforts of our dedicated officer corps and membership, our impressive class of new initiates, and our faithful alumni, we were able to accomplish truly spectacular things this past year. We held a record-breaking 46 fun/social events and 31 company infosessions, most of which were open to other engineering students, along with numerous professional development events and service activities. But what truly exemplifies the success of the chapter over the past year is the fruitful cultivation of our new, amazing projects. Taking the call of noblesse oblige to heart, the theme of our past year was outreach, both to the College of Engineering and to the surrounding Bay area. CA-A made it our mission to provide opportunities for engineering students and Bay area community members. In the Fall, CA-A unveiled for the first time its College Bound event, an all-day event with the goal of promoting post-secondary STEM education to underrepresented groups. Nearly 200 high school students travelled to the Berkeley campus to hear about student research projects and participate in fun hands-on engineering modules. Then again in the Spring, CA-A rolled out its Engineering Open House, a more focused event to give high school students interested in engineering majors an insider’s look at the life of an engineering student at Berkeley.

  • Decatur Focus • JULY-AUGUST 2019 City News
    NEXT STEPS DECATUR ANNUAL REPORT 2019 City of Decatur Clear zone JULY-AUGUST 2019 Volume 30 • Number 1 OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE CITY OF DECATUR, GEORGIA FNew ocuLiving Walls s Mural on North Candler Street n June Living Walls unveiled its newest mural, titled Monuments: Our Immigrant Mothers, by artist Yehimi Cambron. The mural is at 302 E. Howard IAve. at the corner of N. Candler and E. Howard. The project is a part of Living Walls’ annual Laura Patria Calle Grant, which supports public art projects on the topics of social equality, immigrants’ rights, feminism, LGBTQ rights and cultural diversity. Monuments: Our Immigrant Mothers aims to bring representa- tion to the mothers who crossed borders to give their immigrant children a better life. The mural’s message seeks to inspire a conver- sation about immigrant rights in our country. The artist, Yehimi Cambron, said the project is a culmination of her personal experience as an undocumented immigrant with DACA, of being the daughter of undocumented parents, and of the countless migration stories her students have shared with her in the classroom through their projects. The mural depicts three portraits of immigrant mothers sur- rounded by the imagery of desert plants and their colorful flowers, to represent the contrast of her strength and vulnerability and how they inform one another. The imagery also alludes to her family’s migration journey in an effort to shift an often-criminalized narra- tive into one of empowerment. The monarch butterflies surrounding each mother represent their children. The monarch butterfly is a reflection of the migration journey and a symbol of the resilience of their community.
