CORNELL OFFICE HOURS
Office Hours: 8:15am – 3:30pm Phone: (510) 558-3700
Email: Sui-Ling (sangelidis@ausdk12.org), or Margaret (mglendening@ausdk12.org)
IF YOUR CHILD IS LATE, please do NOT send them straight to class. Students must stop in the office for a tardy slip. A staff member will accompany them to their classroom, if necessary.
IF YOU HAVE ITEMS TO DROP OFF (e.g. forgotten lunch or musical instruments), take these to the office and staff will deliver them, or students may check with office staff later in the morning. You are welcome to visit the office during school hours or after school if you have any questions/concerns, or would like to speak to a staff member.
TRAFFIC & PARKING Parking is always extremely limited on both Talbot and Cornell Avenues. We encourage all families to walk, roll, or carpool to school. If driving to school is necessary, please plan your morning so you can park legally at a distance from the gates. In addition, please be very mindful of our neighbors by NOT parking in their driveways or making unsafe driving maneuvers. Also, do not use the alleyway between Talbot and Cornell for pick up and drop off - it is reserved for AUSD and Cornell staff.
CELL PHONES & SMART WATCHES Students are not allowed to use cell phones or smart watches during the school day. If students need to call parents, they are welcome to use the classroom and/or office telephones with staff permission. Cell phones and smart watches must be kept in backpacks during school hours.
LOST AND FOUND CLOTHING will be placed on a rolling rack in the yard by the blue picnic tables between 1:55pm and 3:15pm, daily. Please check this when picking up your child. Clothing is periodically donated if not claimed.
HEALTH FORMS FOR KINDERGARTEN FAMILIES Kindergartners need to have the Physical Exam form (CDHP form) and the Oral Health form completed by their doctor/dentist and on file in the school office before the start of first grade. Please submit electronically to Margaret at mglendening@ausdk12.org.
VOLUNTEERING AT SCHOOL The district requires any parents interested in volunteering/chaperoning, from 2nd grade onwards, to complete the Volunteer II paperwork. Visit the volunteer webpage to complete the form or email Margaret (mglendening@ausdk12.org) for more details. The application is submitted once only and if approved, lasts until the end of high school.
FIELD TRIP VOLUNTEERS For parent drivers, the school must keep updated records on file (DMV driver's record, car registration, insurance declaration page) each year, so that you will be able and ready to drive for school trips.
