Principal's Message
Welcome to the first edition of this year's Vista Views. Alta Vista's school newsletter will be "published" approximately every two weeks and will provide information about upcoming events and highlights from some of the special moments happening in our classrooms.
The first three weeks were a busy start to the school year, but we've already settled into our learning routines. As I walked through classrooms last week, I couldn't help but be impressed with the level of student collaboration. Regardless of the age or content area, students were working together and learning from each other in a caring environment. Alta Vista is a very special place, filled with dedicated teachers, staff, and families -- all focused on supporting our students.
I want to thank everyone for the warm welcome I received as I joined the Alta Vista community. I'm looking forward to many years working together to provide an exemplary learning experience for your children.
All the best,
Cathy Bailey
