Welcome back!!! We hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful break. We are in the home stretch now- only 7 weeks of school left.


Hoedown tickets are on sale!!!! Don’t miss this Alamo School family favorite where we convert the Alamo School grounds into a Carnival with rides, games, food, and live music- there is something for everyone. April 22 from 5:00pm - 8:30pm. We still need volunteers for set-up and certain booths, please- sign up HERE


The last day to purchase yearbooks is April 16. Yearbooks were not sold at registration, so please do not assume you have bought your yearbook. We have only sold 189 yearbooks- which means there are 120 kids who still don't have one. If you think this is something that really isn’t worth it, you are wrong. I have seen the layout and this year's yearbook does not disappoint. Don’t let your kid be without a yearbook on signing day. You can purchase your Alamo School yearbook at yearbookordercenter.com, School Code 12361. Please email nicolerocca@gmail.com or ajitpalp@gmail.com with any questions.


April 13: Principal Chat, 6:30pm, Link to join: https://srvusd-net.zoom.us/j/86133426972

Registration is not required - click on the link to join. The presentation will include summer school information and Fastbridge assessment results by grade level in reading and math from fall and winter.


April 22: Alamo School Hoedown and Spring Carnival!!! Email michesinnott@gmail.com or ehamilton@srvusd.net for more information or to get involved!


April 24, 9am - 12noon: Alamo School Earth Day Clean Up


April 27, 6:30pm via Zoom: PTA General Association meeting. Zoom details to come.


Volunteer Opportunities:


We need your help at lunchtime! Alamo needs your help in making sure our kids are having a fun, friendly, and well-supervised lunch recess. Volunteering for yard duty is a great way for your child to see you helping out at school, and a great way for you to see them in their element. Please consider giving less than an hour of your day by signing up here



Thank you,
