Over the summer, families at Otis Elementary School worked with Bike Walk Alameda to organize a bike train to get to the school's temporary campus. And what a bike train it was! This morning more than 100 riders rode down Shoreline to Grand Street and then Otis Drive, taking advantage of City of Alameda - Local Government's ever-expanding bike routes.
Thank you to the City and to Alameda County Safe Routes to Schools Program for helping identify good bike routes routes, to the bike train organizers, and to all who participated - what an amazing turnout!

Drew Tuma with ABC7 is at Wood Middle School this morning to do weather and an interview or two - check us out starting at 6 and off and on until 7:30!
Our ribbon cutting ceremony for Wood Middle School was such a delight last Friday!
Thank you all who came out to help us celebrate.
Thank you to the many workers who worked so hard to get this campus ready for our first day of school - including our Maintenance, Technology, and Construction teams and the hundreds of tradespeople who have contributed over the last two years.

A reminder that our ribbon cutting for the very beautiful new Wood Middle School campus is this afternoon at 4 pm. Please join us! The event will include speakers and opportunities to tour the campus.
Our principals, assistant principals, and vice principals are at District Office today to begin the new year with updates, training, introductions, and reconnections.
Superintendent Scuderi kicked off the meeting with remarks about the need to balance the responsibility and stress of being a site administrator with the very real need to cultivate and preserve personal well-being. "We're at our best when we make time for effort *and* recovery, he said.
He also spoke to the need of balancing the benefits of technology with the nuance and support only human connection can provide.
Welcome back, administrators!

We're welcoming our new teachers today with the nuts and bolts information they need as AUSD employees: payroll, benefits, maintenance, technology, leaves, and membership in Alameda Education Association. Some of it's not super exciting, we know, but we want everyone to start off on the right foot.
Welcome, teachers! We're looking forward to getting to know you!
Contractors and AUSD staff are busy, busy, busy getting Wood Middle School's new campus ready for students next month.
During our visit this afternoon, we saw workers installing roof panels, pouring concrete, planting trees, connecting projectors, painting, putting up fences, and setting out brand new classroom furniture.
We can't wait to see the final project!
