Alamo Christmas Blessings!
Alamo will once again be adding a little Christmas cheer to local family’s holiday season. Please join us in sponsoring a family for the 2020 Christmas season.
The Alamo Giving Tree is back! This year we will be doing a virtual Giving Tree via SignUp Genius. The sign up link includes gift items for families. You may sign up for whatever item you'd like from the tree. Once you sign up for an item, a gift tag will be sent home with your child so you can include the tag with the item to the Alamo office. We're asking that all items be returned to the school no later than Friday, December 11th. Please do NOT wrap the items. Please be sure to include the gift tag with your present so we know to which family member it belongs.
Please contact Nicole Knight-Lucas or Robbin Carter with any questions. 269-694-7600 or nknight-lucas@otsegops.org. Gift cards and monetary donations to go toward gifts are also welcomed. Thanks!
Thank you for your generous gift of giving!

Book Packs to Go!
Click on the link below to get Book Packs to Go from the Otsego District Public Library.
Do you like a certain genre or want to learn about a certain subject? Does your child like dinosaurs, fairies, or any other subject? A staff member will choose up to 10 books to match that subject and will put the materials on hold for you.
When you receive an email, you can pick up your Book Pack To Go at their drive-through curbside window.
Emergency Contact Information - Infinite Campus Parent Portal
It is extremely important to have up-to-date contact information available for each student. When emergencies arise, we need to be able to contact parents/guardians. This is also the contact information that is used for school closures and district updates.
Please log in to the Infinite Campus Parent Portal to check that your contact information is current and to make any necessary changes. If you need assistance or login information for the Parent Portal, please contact the Alamo office. Thank You!
