Alamo Canned Food Drive - May 3rd-May14th
Alamo Cares Leadership Team is sponsoring a canned food drive in honor of Laura Deerwester, a Food Service retiree from Alamo who recently passed away.
The canned food drive will run from Monday May 3, 2021 to Friday May, 14th.
We will accept canned food donations as well as non perishable items; all donations will be delivered to Christian Neighbors in Plainwell. Laura was a volunteer at Christian Neighbors and she was very passionate about Alamo’s canned food drive in years past. Please send all donations with your children to school starting Monday May 3rd; there will be a prize for the class with the most donations.

2020-21 Class Placements
Spring is the time of year when we begin planning for next school year. Placement of children in classes is a part of that planning, and a most difficult task. Responsible placement decisions take time and many consultations among staff members. Our goal is to make the best match between student, teacher and learning environment. Many factors must be considered such as gender ratios, academic ranges, social behavior, personalities, special needs and learning styles. If you feel you have special insights regarding your child that could assist with our selection, it is certainly welcome. We ask parents to adhere to the following guidelines:
• Provide information about your child’s needs.
• Do NOT request a specific teacher or friendship group. A detailed description of your child’s learning style and individual needs is more helpful.
• Information must be in writing and must be in the office on or before May 17th
Remember that due to many factors involved, we are unable to make any guarantees, other than the fact that we will put much thought, consideration, and individual attention into each and every placement. We hope you will rely on our expertise and know that the best possible placement will be made for your child.
COVID 19 Reporting
Emergency Contact Information - Infinite Campus Parent Portal
It is extremely important to have up-to-date contact information available for each student. When emergencies arise, we need to be able to contact parents/guardians. This is also the contact information that is used for school closures and district updates.
Please log in to the Infinite Campus Parent Portal to check that your contact information is current and to make any necessary changes. If you need assistance or login information for the Parent Portal, please contact the Alamo office. Thank You!
