Principal's Message

Happy Friday Alcova Families!


It has been an exciting week here at Alcova! We had a fabulous time at Skate Night on Tuesday. Our students and families had a blast skating to old and new songs! Our Robotics teams have started practicing and are off to a great start.


Thank you to all of our parents who continue to make our "Step It Up" Program a great success! We appreciate your involvement and support of this important event. There is still time to support your child's school. Please see the link below.


Students will be able to purchase ice cream on Wednesday, October 5th.


We still have many parents that have not completed the required back to school agreements this year. Please click on the link below to visit MyPaymentsPlus and complete them this week. Thank you.


Please continue to check our website for calendar updates and events. We look forward to building a continued partnership with you!


We hope you enjoy your weekend.


Proud to Be Your Principal!

School Hours

Please remember school hours are from 8:15am -2:45pm. Students may enter at 7:45am and car riders will begin dismissal at 2:40pm. Starting this year, announcements will begin 8:10am, so that instruction may begin promptly at 8:15am. Thanks in advance for getting your children here on time ready to learn.

STUDENT CHECK OUTS ALLOWED BEFORE 2:15pm.

Each day we strive to dismiss students with a safe organized process to ultimately ensure the safety of each student. In order to keep our procedures accurate and maintain appropriate processes to ensure the safe release of our students, all check outs in the front office must be completed before 2:15pm and all transportation changes must be made in writing with the front office by the parent by 1:00pm. Thank you for helping us keep our students safe.

Emergency - "Day of" Transportation Change Requests

Parents,


If you have a emergency transportation change request you must email 978.transportation@gcpsk12.org for the change to be processed. Please use this email only for "day of" emergency changes, where you were not able to send a note in with your student. Change request must be received no later than 1:30 pm to guarantee the change request will be processed.

Car Rider Info

Just a Reminder: The Car Rider Lane will close at 8:15 am. All students arriving after 8:15, must check in at the front office with the parent. Please do not drop your child off if the doors are closed.
