Principal's Message
HAPPY 100TH DAY OF SCHOOL!
We have made our students 100 days smarter and we were excited about it! Students celebrated the 100th Day of school yesterday, January 16th. Thank you for entrusting us with your children to guide them in being smarter, friendlier students. They care about school and desire to do great things. We are honored to be a small part of their lives.
We celebrate the amazing contributions of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday, January 20th. On this day, taking time to support our community, promote peace and help the less fortunate is a special way to commemorate the day and his birthday! He would have been 91 years old on January 15th, 2020.
Awards Days begin next week: Invitations have been sent to students who are receiving an award.
Alcova Car Rider Families!!!
This year we have set a new policy that requires all of our students to be in school at the 8:15 AM bell. We are finding that this procedure isn't being followed as hoped, and that some children are being dropped off without proper supervision. We politely ask that you follow the procedures of all staff who are assigned to this area. Also, if the door has closed at 8:15 AM, that you politely drive to the front of the school to drop them off.
This procedure has been updated and changed, because we have to start our day earlier in order to begin our academic routines. Our staff need to travel to their classrooms to be able to support student arrival.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us. Thank you for supporting our efforts to keep this area of our school safe and secure for all involved.
It's Flu Season!
