District Weekly Updates
May 26, 2020
Dear AUL Family,
Welcome to Week 10 of Virtual Learning!
On Friday, May 29, we will be taking a virtual journey to the GALAPAGOS ISLAND!
During this virtual journey, students will learn about Galapagos, an archipelago full of unique biota and rare animals. These islands are a part of Ecuador and located about 1000 km outside of South America. Darwin made the Galapagos famous when he stepped foot onto its shores and developed his theory of natural selection, changing the way we understand evolution.
Students will also learn that on the Islands of the Galapagos live several fearless animals who have never known any predators. To preserve their innocence, it is important to save the environment that the animals live in and the best way to do so is to educate the world about such a rare location.
Students need to click on the link below:

Once students complete the Virtual field trip, they will have a follow-up assignment next week in their Science class related to evolution and the Galapagos Island.

Virtual Learning Best Practices
Ms. Vlastaras’ Film Class
In Ms. Vlastaras’ Film Class, students have been working on a shot composition unit, angles and movement, the different types of camera shots and their impact on the time and overall cinematography of film. This culminated in them wanting to demonstrate what they have learned. They have created a series of short videos and taken pictures in which they use several of the shots/angles/ movement types. While students were a little shy about sharing or posting, we have been very impressed by the creativity and overall quality of their work.
Ms. Acevedo's Spanish 1 Class
And, In Ms. Acevedo’s Spanish 1 class, students had been working on a unit on Ecuador. They completed an activity that focused on the history of the Otavalos Peoples famous tapestries. They are made with beautiful woolen textiles, that have geometric shapes; designs that depict the Otavalos objects of everyday life and scenes of nature. As a project, students were responsible to recreate one of the tapestries.

Coronavirus: What you need to know
Over the past week, the Governor has continued to reopen several businesses and organizations, beaches and state parks. As we continue the recovery process from Covid-19, It is very important to highlight the major precautions people should take to stay safe during this pandemic:
1-Wash hands frequently with soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds
2-Avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth; if you do, wash hands immediately afterward. Use hand sanitizer when soap/water is not available.
3-Avoid close contact with people who are sick
4-Stay home if you are sick
5-Cover your cough and sneeze into a tissue; then throw out and wash your hands.
6-Use face-covering/mask when going outdoors, and continue to practice social distancing (6 feet apart)
Where and how do I get tested for COVID-19 in New Jersey? Who should get testing?
If you do not have symptoms, testing is not recommended. Complete this self-assessment to learn what to do.
INFORMATION ON TESTING SITES
There are three types of testing sites:
Community-based testing sites - These sites are open to all New Jerseyans who are experiencing symptoms of respiratory illness
County testing sites - These sites may be restricted to residents or first responders of a specific county. Some also require an appointment and/or prescription from a healthcare provider.
Private testing sites - To access testing at these sites, you must contact your doctor or healthcare provider.
NOTE: Each testing site operates on a schedule and has specific requirements. Please check with that site before visiting as you may be turned away.

About US
When the school first opened in 2010, it did not have the books, tables, or classrooms necessary for students to be in an adequate learning environment. Even the principal, at the time, had to serve as a lunch aide. Since then, AUL has developed to help students receive the education they deserve. AUL has expanded by opening two new campuses, expecting to provide the opportunity for students to continue to succeed, with graduation and college admission, as two of its goals.
AUL offers an advanced academic track and AP courses.
AUL Mission: To employ an educational design and experience that merges the highest standards of academic excellence while fostering convictions and commitment to social and economic justice.
