Read By Third Grade
In 2016, the Michigan Legislature passed a law that requires schools to identify learners who are struggling with reading and writing and to provide additional help. The law states that third graders may repeat third grade if they are more than one grade level behind beginning with the
2019-2020 school year.
Students identified with reading concerns have an individual reading improvement plan developed with staff and parents which includes intervention and support at school as well as a read-at-home plan.
More information about the Read by Grade Three law can be found in the video below and at THIS LINK.
Calling For All Literacy Bus Books To Be Returned!
If your child received a delivery of books during the shutdown this past spring, please return them to school as soon as possible! We are still missing many books! We would like to restock our bus and have it ready to go for next summer!
Thank you!
Emergency Contact Information - Infinite Campus Parent Portal
It is extremely important to have up-to-date contact information available for each student. When emergencies arise, we need to be able to contact parents/guardians. This is also the contact information that is used for school closures and district updates.
Please log in to the Infinite Campus Parent Portal to check that your contact information is current and to make any necessary changes. If you need assistance or login information for the Parent Portal, please contact the Alamo office. Thank You!

Meal distribution for Thanksgiving Week will be Tuesday, November 24th (instead of Wednesday) from 6-7pm only at all three locations. (Alamo, Dix Street & High School). There will not be a morning distribution for this week.
