Week of August 26
First Week Success!
As we made it down the hallways this week and were able to peek in at the classrooms, I realized just how big of a difference Alkek makes. Students are finding their ways around the classroom, teachers are building a solid foundation, and relationships are being built. This year is full of hope, promise and potential as we begin to help students refocus on learning, finding their strengths, and setting personal goals that will help them succeed this year!
Our school motto still rings strong for us- "Be Kind-Work Hard-Dream Big." We want to continue to remind each other of these three small, but impactful phrases. In an earlier blog I broke down each phrase to find the bigger picture of what we should all be searching for. As we enter our new year, stop each day and think about each phrase and how you can change the day to day just be being kind, working hard, and dreaming big!
If you have a moment check out our previous blog here that defines each phrase that makes up our motto!
Let's continue our 19/20 journey together and make this year one to remember!
"All you need is faith, trust, and a little pixie dust." -Tinkerbell
----------------------------------------
School Starts at 7:55!
Tardy bell rings at 7:55am. Tardies will begin being issued Monday morning! At that time, the front doors lock. All students should be escorted in by a parent/guardian to sign them in for the day. Please park in the parking lot so not to cause congestion in the drop off line!
School releases at 3:25pm. If you are getting out of your vehicle, please be sure to park and walk up to the sidewalk to meet your kiddo! If not, please use the car drop off line and be sure to pull all the way to the front!
----------------------------------------
5th Grade Parent Night- 5:00-6:00pm
September 2- Student/Teacher Holiday! No School
September 6- Grandparents Luncheon! Times TBA
September 12- Progress Reports sent home!

----------------------------------------
As Alkek adjusts to the incoming traffic, please bear with us as we find the best possible solution to helping you enter and exit our parking lot safely. We are working to ensure that we are not only obeying traffic laws, but creating a more efficient student drop process. We cannot thank you enough for your support and understanding. Thank you for partnering with us as we make each day safer and more efficient for you and your child!
