Sundays From The Mesa # 24
February 5th - 9th

Principal Message
Dear Alta Mesa Families,
As we enter February I would like to invite parents to help our school community by providing feedback in the form of our annual parent survey. The survey results help inform us of the direction both the school and district should consider moving forward. These results also inform our Local Control Action Plan at the district level. The survey should only take a few minutes. Please find the link to the survey below.
This week we begin our 4th/5th basketball season with a home opener on Tuesday. The boys play at 3pm and the girls at 4pm. They play at Lassen View on Thursday with the girls playing at 3 PM and boys at 4 PM.
Reminder that we are only two weeks away from Presidents week. There will be no school from February 19-23, 2024. Make sure you mark your calendars!
It's going to be another great week here at Alta Mesa!!! Thank you for your continued support!

Presidents' Week Break: 2/19 - 2/23 (NO SCHOOL)
Your Feedback Matters!!!
Each year our district seeks out input from our school community on how we can improve. Please take a few minutes to complete the EESD Parent Survey. We appreciate your feedback!

7-Habits of Highly Effective People
Many of you have asked, “What are these ‘7 Habits’ my child keeps talking about at home?” It’s a great question! Every day, your students are learning the 7 Habits framework. These are tools and skills for developing into young leaders. If your kids are talking about these at home, that means these helpful tools are sticking, even beyond the classroom! Celebrate this with them! Over the next 7 weeks, I’ll give a quick overview of each habit, so you can join the conversation with your students at home.
