Message from our Principal
I can't believe I am about to finish my first year as the Principal of the ALC and Owatonna Online! It has gone fast, and I am already planning for next year. I have been so impressed with the students and parents at both the ALC and Owatonna Online. I truly have great students that work hard. As we head into our last quarter, I want to ensure my students finish strong and reach their goals. Please make sure you are checking your emails daily for updates regarding field trips, graduation, credits earned, and community service activities coming up. This last quarter will be busy, and we want to keep everyone informed. If you still need to do so, please ensure you are signing up for time slots to select your electives. This is important for our scheduling next year. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact the school.

Crisis Response
I wanted to include in the newsletter the Crisis Response for Southeast Minnesota. It is important to remember that help is just a phone call away!
The crisis response inspires hope in adults, children, youth, and their families by delivering compassionate, person-centered, recovery-based mental health support during a crisis. Please do not hesitate to use this as a resource.
