Principal's Message

Parents,


As the newest member of the Alcova family, I have enjoyed my first full week. I am so appreciative of the warm welcome I have received from everyone. Throughout the week I was able to engage with students. They were excited to introduce themselves, and several 5th graders were specific about the qualities they wanted to see in their principal.

Thank you to those who came out to our first Stars and Strikes night. This event was a success, and I met several families. On Thursday, December 8th, we will have our Chorus performance at 6:00 pm. Before the chorus performance, we invite families to join us for Cookies and Crafts with Mrs. Baldwin at 5:00 pm in the media center. This is an informal chance to mingle and have a little fun. We will repeat this event on December 13th at 5:30 before the drama club production at 6:30.


Your Proud Principal,

Jacquetta Baldwin

Lost and Found Items

Parents we have many lost articles of clothing that will be on display in front of the cafeteria from December 8th through December 15th. Please encourage your child to look through the items for the article of clothing that belongs to them. All items remaining on December 16th will be donated.
