Parent Volunteers
We encourage parents to volunteer and support the educational activities at AUS. Opportunities to volunteer are wide ranging.
Continue to read the weekly AUS News in order to keep informed about upcoming opportunities to volunteer.
School Pictures
School pictures are taken yearly for the school yearbook. Parents have the option to purchase photos taken during school. Later
in the year retakes are available for students who were not in school on the day of photos or need pictures retaken for technical
reasons.
Posters/Publicity
A club sponsor teacher may approve public displays such as posters or banners. The school does not allow advertisements for
specific products or business establishments. If a club would like to promote a special event in the High School, they may have
up to 10 posters approved for posting by the administration. These should be submitted to the Middle School Office at least two
days before the need to post. Only non-stick tape may be used to display posters. Tape will discolor or pull the paint off of the
walls. Displays should observe spelling and grammar rules as well refrain from being offensive to any individual or group.
Recycling
The environmental mission of the American United School is to educate each student to reduce, reuse and recycle and to
contribute sustainable solutions to energy and resource problems in a rapidly changing world.
Reduce Reuse Recycle Respect Responsibility- “Be the Change You Want to See in the World”
AUS is committed to developing a more sustainable school environment through teaching and modeling environmental
awareness and responsibility. Working together as a team, faculty, staff and students will work to create an environmentally
responsible community by striving to fulfill the environmental mission in all aspects of school life. We believe environmentally
responsible behavior is a reflection of our school's values and therefore must be part of our lives and actions. We are committed
to stewardship of the environment in our educational and administrative dealings. We must value, protect, preserve and
replenish natural resources. We will foster a culture of environmental awareness in our students, faculty and staff that promotes
responsible behavior. We commit to waste minimization and increasing recycling throughout the school including in classrooms,
lunch rooms, libraries, administrative offices, sports facilities and common areas. We commit to reductions of energy and water
consumption throughout the school. As an institution, our priorities, decisions and actions will be informed by their
environmental impact.
