We had a wonderful first day of school, at Alta Vista filled with lots of smiles and renewed friendships. I hope your children came home with stories of classroom activities, recess, and new friends. This week's newsletter (the first of our weekly Wednesday communication) will be short and sweet, with just a few pieces of information to share with you.
I'm looking forward to seeing our TK and Kindergarten parents at tonight's Back to School Night event. The Kindergarten teachers will start with their presentation at 5:30, followed by Home & School Club at 6:00. We'll wrap up the evening with a TK presentation by Mrs. O'Brien. We'll look forward to seeing everyone in the cafeteria. Please remember that this event is intended for adults.
Back to School Night for our first through fifth grade families will be on August 31st. You can expect more details in next week's newsletter.

ALTA VISTA INFO
Dismissal and Campus Access
As you know, over the summer, we've enhanced campus safety with some additional gates and fencing. Shortly after the 8:15 bell, we will be locking the gates. If your child is running late or you need to visit the office for other reasons, you can still do so through the open gates near the cafeteria. All visitors will need to register in the office before they can access the campus.
At the end of our first day, we opened the gates earlier than usual. Beginning tomorrow, the gates will be opened or unlocked at the 2:40 dismissal bell. This reduces the disruption to the classroom as students are finishing the day. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
