AUSD Game Changers
Take a Moment: Applaud Exceptional AUSD Employees with the AUSD Badges Program
Nominate any AUSD staff member or site administrator for the
“Above and Beyond the Call of Duty” and the “Spotlight” badge to make them eligible to be selected as a Game Changer
When 2,500 employees on 19 school campuses and at a district office are dedicated to working on behalf of 17,000 students and their families, there are daily stories of kindness, encouragement, and impact on others, moments and stories that are often untold.
The two-tiered recognition program allows nominees for the Above and Beyond the Call of Duty and for Spotlight badges to then be eligible to win the Game Changer badge which will be awarded every month during the school year to two employees, beginning in September 2018.
The two monthly Game Changer winners will each receive a $100 award from Schools First Federal Credit Union, recognition by the AUSD Board of Education, and an article about them in Around Alhambra and Cascades. Says Carol Chaney with Schools First FCU, “This is exactly the kind of program that Schools First loves to support — we look for ways to be a part of applauding the great work done by dedicated school employees.”
Nominate someone today. Here’s how:
- Go to www.ausd.us/badges/
- Click on Recognition
- Click on one of the two badges that you want to choose
- Fill out short, fast form:
- Your name, who you nominate and what they do, how you know them, and very briefly why you want them to be recognized.
