Principal's Message

Alcova Families!


Parents, as you may be aware I am currently serving as the Interim Principal at Alcova Elementary until the new principal is appointed. I have received a warm welcome from the staff, students, and the PTA President. Your support during this time as I learn "The Alcova Way" is very much appreciated.


Alcova Elementary is an outstanding school and I am appreciative of the opportunity to serve as the Interim Principal. I am learning more about Alcova every day and I am eager to support the staff, students, and parents with the important work you are doing to ensure each student's success. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of assistance to you.

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.
