News & Updates
Welcome MVLA Families,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I spent the weekend watching by daughter playing volleyball. This weekend marked the start of the new season.
The staff is looking forward to our annual holiday breakfast. The teachers will be sending out more information. Mark your calendars for Tuesday, December 19th. T
Here are a few updates to help keep you informed:
- We LOVE volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering in any capacity, please pick up the required paperwork in the CELC/MVLA office.
Plan 8 is due on Thursday, December 14th. Please remember that work completion is directly correlated to attendance. Incomplete or missing plan work will result in the team re-evaluating the student's program placement. If your family is struggling to compete the work, please reach out to your teacher for support.
Our MVLA 3rd through 8th graders will begin working on their test taking skills in preparation for CAASPP testing in May.
For the safety and security of students and staff, gates are locked during school hours. The gate between CELC and MVLA is locked by 9:15 a.m. and remains locked the rest of the school day.
MVLA students may enter through the CELC or SHES gate. If they arrive after 9:10 a.m., they will need to go through the SHES gate. MVLA students are picked up (by the bus or parent) in front of SHES.
If you pick your student up early, please check in at the SHES office.
- Free breakfast is available daily at the SHES cafeteria.
- Please send your student to school each day with their fully charged Chromebook, a backpack, refillable water bottle, a healthy snack, and a lunch (unless they are getting a cafeteria lunch).
Before school care is available. Please see the flyer below or contact Aimee Hatfield, AUSD's ESS Coordinator, at ahatfield@alpineschools.net for rates and more information.

I hope you have a fun and fantastic week!
Sincerely,
Tamara Ripke, Proud Principal
