AE Wright E-Spartan News – Fall news and updates

‌

Hello A.E. Wright families!

As we settle into the school year and welcome the fall season, we are reminded that there are so many things to be thankful for, even in these hard times. We are thankful for our teachers who are actively relearning how to teach in a virtual environment, for our administrators and campus staff working to make the campus safe for students to return, and for our families that have supported us through this process.

We thank those families that have already donated to our PFC Donor Drive, going on right now through November 5. Your help has been greatly appreciated!

Please check out the awesome video made by our own A.E. Wright students to let you know how the donations are used! The link is at the bottom of this message.

If you haven't donated yet, please go to www.schoolpay.com and give what you can to help A.E. Wright be the very best it can be!

We are working on planning some fun events this fall! Stay tuned for details and please email us or fill out the volunteer google form below if you'd like to help!

Thanks again for making our school a special place to be!

Amy Grayson and Naomi Golden

Co-Presidents, AE Wright PFC

LVUSD NEWS & UPDATES

Let The “Sunshine” In!

by Kiyomi Kowalski

“Sunshine” laws ensure that people have access to government meetings and documents. The Brown Act is a California sunshine law that applies to local government. It requires that all local government business be conducted publicly and openly, except in limited situations. The intent of the Brown Act is to keep the public informed so they maintain control over their local government and government officials.

All Las Virgenes Unified School District committee and council meetings are governed by The Brown Act. Anyone may attend any meeting as a member of the public, even if they have not been appointed as a voting member of the committee or council.

Every elected official works for and on behalf of us. As members of the public, we have a duty to stay informed and pay close attention to these meetings. The following is a list of LVUSD public meetings through the end of the year. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me at kowalskiforschoolboard@gmail.com with any questions.
