Principal's Message

Parents,


As we work to close out the semester, we can reflect on a wonderful week of teaching and learning. Students in 1st-5th grade have taken their mid-year assessments, and the teachers will use data from these assessments to support students' individual needs during the second semester.


We had an excellent turnout for Thursday night's D.R.U.M and Alcova Singers' performances. Mr. Holder, our music teacher, has worked hard with the students this semester, and they SHINED. Thank you, parents, for committing to bringing your children to school early to support their development and the development of the Alcova fine arts programs.


We invite the entire community to come back next week, December 13, to Cookies and Crafts with the principal at 5:30 and then at 6:30 to attend an Alcova Drama Club’s presentation of “A Christmas Carol.” I would like to meet more parents and learn how we can best serve you at Alcova


Your Proud Principal,

Jacquetta Baldwin

The Parent Center

I am excited to announce that each Title I school has been allotted money to update/refresh the Parent Center! The purpose of this allocation is to allow our school to create inviting and collaborative spaces for families to obtain important information and resources to help their children.


With the left-over funds, I want to invite our teachers and families to give input on what items you would like to see added to the Parent Center. If you have any ideas, Please fill out the Google form by December 15, 2022. I look forward to hearing your great ideas!
