Principal's Message

Alcova Families!


It has been another busy and exciting week at Alcova! This week we celebrated Red Ribbon Week, and we loved seeing our students dressed in their book character costumes. Our Literacy STEM Night carnival was a huge success thanks to our wonderful and committed staff and parents. Thank you for your support of these events this week!


Thank you also for providing input through the Principal Selection Survey and the Community School Meeting regarding the selection of Alcova's next principal. Please continue to let me know how I can provide support during this transition time.

STUDENT CHECK OUTS ALLOWED BEFORE 2:15pm.

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.
