Notes from the desk of Principal Papes
Dear Alto Families,
It has been an incredible start to the 2022-2023 school year! It has been great to have
students back in the building again. Our teachers and students have been busy building their classroom communities, and students are quickly learning procedures throughout the school. Our kids have done an exceptional job of transitioning back to school. There has been a positive buzz of Kid Energy permeating the building! Thank you for your support. It is clear that you are doing an excellent job of preparing your children for success each and every day. We are excited to continue partnering with you to make this an amazing school year!
Arrival and Dismissal
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we continue to establish routines with students for a safe arrival and dismissal.
A couple things to help move the drop-off procedures along:
Please have your child ready to get out of the car when you pull up along the curb
Have students exit vehicles parked anywhere along the curb. Please do not wait to move to the front of the line to depart.
Also, thank you for your patience and cooperation as our dismissal process, which is always slower to start the school year. We have many new pick up students. Please remind your child to look for your car and listen for their name being called. This process will continue to become more efficient as we become more familiar with new students and vehicles.

The Pink Arrow high school athletic contests will be on Thursday, September 1st this year. High school students from the marching band, boys soccer, volleyball, football and cheer will be visiting for a mini Pep Assembly the morning of September 1st.
