Dear Alcova Parents/Guardians,

We had a wonderful Curriculum Night last night. We welcomed so many parents into our building. Teachers and parents were enthusiastic and fully engaged. We hope you were able to take away some great strategies for helping your student learn and excel in the classroom. Please remember to have your child read for at least 20 minutes every night.

It is not too late! Please use the link below to join our PTA. We want every family in our school to join PTA, because we can do more together than apart.

Please continue to check our website for calendar updates and events. We look forward to building a continued partnership with you!

Have a wonderful weekend.

Proud to Be Your Principal!

Attention ALL 4th and 5th graders. If you are interested in trying out for Drama Club this year, we will be having auditions on Tuesday, September 20th, Wednesday, September 21st and Thursday, September 22nd for our winter selection. Auditions will be held inside Ms. Taylor’s Class from 3:30- 4:30. Once bus and car rider dismissal is over, you will come down to my class to meet for auditions. You can choose which day you want to attend to audition and be prepared to read from a script and do some of your best acting. I look forward to seeing everyone then.

Ms. Taylor

We are looking for parent and community members to volunteer to be on the Alcova Media Technology Committee. This committee is in place to approve all materials that are purchased for and/or added to the Alcova Media Center Collection. In the event that a book is challenged by a parent or community member, this committee would go through the challenge process, with the help from GCPS Media Services. If you are interested in being a part of the committee, please fill out the form below.

If you have any questions, please contact Melissa Hervey, Alcova Media Specialist at melissa.hervey@gcpsk12.org.

Please remember school hours are from 8:15am -2:45pm. Students may enter at 7:45am and car riders will begin dismissal at 2:40pm. Starting this year, announcements will begin 8:10am, so that instruction may begin promptly at 8:15am. Thanks in advance for getting your children here on time ready to learn.

Each day we strive to dismiss students with a safe organized process to ultimately ensure the safety of each student. In order to keep our procedures accurate and maintain appropriate processes to ensure the safe release of our students, all check outs in the front office must be completed before 2:15pm and all transportation changes must be made in writing with the front office by the parent by 1:00pm. Thank you for helping us keep our students safe.

Just a Reminder: The Car Rider Lane will close at 8:15 am. All students arriving after 8:15, must check in at the front office with the parent. Please do not drop your child off if the doors are closed.
