Emergency Contact Information
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. Login information will be sent home with your child this week. If you need assistance or login information for the Parent Portal, please contact the Alamo Elementary Office. Thank You!
Moments With Mel!
Hello, Alamo Families! I’m Melanie Conley, a school therapist with Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services and the newest member of the Alamo Elementary staff. While I serve other students in other schools at OPS, I am primarily housed at Alamo. I have the fortunate opportunity to work with your amazing children in areas of mental health and behavior. As we get into the swing of things and start to settle in with the hybrid model, I wonder if you have a good routine with your children. There are many benefits to having a good routine, but the greatest benefit, in my humble opinion, is security. When a child knows what to expect each day (within reason😊) they feel less stressed and have greater concentration and ultimately find success.
Making a routine doesn’t have to be difficult. In fact, it could be a fun activity do with your family. Each member can take a piece of paper and write down everything you do, or want to do, each day over the course of the week. See what you can cut or reduce. Then see what you can set as a normal routine, something you do at a set time each day or week. Make sure to schedule in time to relax, have fun, exercise, do school work and set a bedtime. It is my hope that as you do this, you will see a reduction in stress and increased security/safety.
Picture Day!
