Principal's Message
Dear Alcova Community,
It was so nice to see so many families that were able to join us for the VIP and ME dance. I want to thank the PTA board members and parent volunteers for your hard work in providing a personalized touch to the evening. The PTA has several other events planned to create engaging experiences for our students. They need your support. We are encouraging all parents to join the Alcova PTA. Membership is only $5.

It is March, and spring is in the air. We have a busy month of community engagement activities and would love each of our families to attend. We will have International Night on Thursday, March 16th. This a wonderful opportunity for families to celebrate their heritage and learn about the diversity within our community. We are also excited to see some of our families join us for Sparkles Skate night on March 23.
For students in third, fourth, and fifth grade, we are full speed ahead as we review and prepare for the GA Milestone (End-of-Grade) assessment from April 24th-May 12th. Students will participate in the GA Milestone “benchmark” assessment March 6th-10th. Teachers will use data from this assessment to plan to reteach opportunities prior to the state assessments in April. Please see the GA Milestone assessment schedule below.
Your proud principal,
Jacquetta Baldwin
