Success: AUPE offers College Summit, OneGoal and YAP. Students earns college credits in some of our high school classes. Room for Growth: Need better alternatives to college such as trades.

# data[].attributes.body
Room for Growth: Even though we offer more than 10 AP classes, we need a chemistry class and diversity of sciences classes. We need more local field trips such as learning outside locally like hydroponics.

# data[].attributes.body
Room for growth: All work and no play doesn't benefit students. Parent and teacher recommends a stress outlet class such as an art/craft class, cooking class. It is a lot for a students to be in classes all day from 1st to 8th period with purely academic content.

# data[].attributes.body
Doing well: All eyes are on kids. Sierra is on it and keeps it moving. Staff communicates via chat about kids in the hallways, students missing from the classroom. Parent commends principal and dean for knowing all the students.

What is a high-quality academic experience?

--Do not make assumptions on one encounter about any students.
--A challenging task that students are able to compete educationally

Needs to be an extension of the discipline team. Sierra is only one person and sometimes it becomes too much to handle for one person

# data[].attributes.body
Students are not ready for the rigor and expectations of college if we allow them to continue bad habits such as waiting until the last week of the semester to do work.

# data[].attributes.body
Provide mental health resources for parents for themselves and their children. Maybe having a session through AUPE for parents/guardians in Spanish and English for how to take care of students when they get home from school. Increasing parent/guardian and student interaction aids in students mental health

- To include safety protocols in teacher and student handbooks (as well as the weekly emails when necessary)
