Joining McAuliffe

McAuliffe is a TK-8 alternative school in the CUSD district. Families must live within the CUSD district boundaries and must open enroll via the CUSD open enrollment lottery in order to be eligible to attend. For more information, visit the Registration page of the CUSD website, or click here.

Benefits for Your Family

McAuliffe values your regular participation in your child's classroom because we think it benefits children to share their daily life with their parents and caregivers. In addition, we believe that your participation benefits YOU! We attract parents who always want to be improving their parenting skills and who want to be an active part of a community of fellow parents; we offer the McAuliffe Aide Training (MAT) course to all new parents to facilitate both. In addition, our Parent Faculty Group often offers additional parent education opportunities during a school year. As a participating parent, you will watch and learn how kids learn, talk with other parents about their parenting experiences, talk more often with your child's teacher, and create a closer bond with your own child. 

Tours

Tours of McAuliffe are scheduled primarily in the late fall and winter months. Attendance at a tour is a requirement for enrolling at McAuliffe. To sign up to receive information about upcoming tours, click here. You are also always welcome to call our front office with inquiries.
