Happy Friday!


Thank you for joining us for our Virtual Curriculum Night! I hope you learned more about how to support your child this year and all of the great things they will be learning. We are focused on helping our students to be problem solvers and critical thinkers in ALL content areas. If you missed last night, don't worry. We are welcoming parents into the building for a hands on strategy session in September. Our upcoming Alcova Parent Teacher Collaboration will take place September 14th, 15th, and 16th from 6:00pm-7:15pm. This is an opportunity to collaborate with teachers on the best ways to support your child at home.


Thank you again for all your support and patience as we maneuver the extended car rider line and shortage of bus drivers. Drop off and pick up is starting to look a lot better but we are still working on improving the process.


Have a fantastic weekend!


Your proud Principal
