AV UNIFIED NEWS
The third week of school has been fun and busy and we are very excited as we move toward the 100th Annual Mendocino County Fair and Apple Show at the end of this coming week. Fall is in the air!
California Community Schools Partnership Program - Planning Grant
Fabulous teacher, Nat Correy-Moran is currently working as Teacher on Special Assignment, coordinating this important planning grant. This grant program supports schools’ efforts to partner with community agencies and local government to align community resources with a focus on academics, health and social services, youth and community development, and community engagement. An additional aim is to lift up the voices of students and families as we plan together to find new ways to enrich and add to AVUSD’s exceptional programs and services for students.
Mr. Corey-Moran has been working on many things already, including:
Gathering input from students, staff, and community members to guide us in future district initiatives and work
Working with district personnel to improve parent access to Parent Square, a communication tool, through which parents can receive emails and/or text messages about important school events
Coordinating with local agencies and organizations to strengthen and improve our services to students. So far, Mr. Correy-Moran has collaborated with the following:
AV Land Trust
Mendocino County Outdoor Education Program
Anderson Valley Health Center
Mendocino County Office of Education
The county’s naturalist program (outdoor education)
Career and College Readiness Program
Career and Technical Education
Mr. Corey-Moran is busy! You will be hearing more from him about great things to come for the students and community of Anderson Valley Unified School District!
