Dear Mav Nation
As we begin the month of November, I want to take a moment to thank our entire school community for an amazing October. Together, we celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month, enjoyed a memorable Homecoming, and reinforced the importance of making healthy choices during Red Ribbon Week. Your participation, school spirit, and support helped make these events meaningful and successful for our students.
November is our Month of Service, a time for us to focus on giving back, helping others, and demonstrating the character, leadership, and compassion that make our school community strong. It is also an important academic month as we approach the final weeks of the grading period.
For the next 15 school days, I encourage all students to refocus on the habits that lead to success:
- Take care of your grades. Stay on top of assignments, seek help when needed, and give your best effort each day.
- Be on time. Arrive at school and every class ready to learn.
- Follow the Alvin ISD dress code. Taking pride in our appearance helps create a positive learning environment.
- Wear your school ID every day. Having your ID visible helps us maintain a safe and secure campus while ensuring a smooth start to each school day.
- Stay engaged and respectful. Make choices that reflect our school values and contribute to a positive campus culture.
As we work together to support student success, I would also like to remind families of the importance of resolving concerns at the lowest level and following the campus chain of command. Most issues can be addressed quickly and effectively when they begin with the staff member closest to the situation. For example, concerns regarding classroom grades, assignments, or academic performance should always begin with the classroom teacher.
Each student is supported by a dedicated Student Support Team, which includes their Alpha Principal, Alpha Counselor, and Attendance Clerk. These team members are available to assist students and families with academic, attendance, behavioral, and social-emotional needs. We encourage families to partner with their student's support team to ensure every child receives the assistance they need to be successful.
Families, your partnership is critical to student success. Please continue to monitor grades, encourage regular attendance, and help ensure your child arrives at school on time, in dress code, and wearing their school ID every day. Together, we can help every student finish this grading period strong.
Thank you for your continued support of our school. I am proud of all we have accomplished and excited to see what we can achieve during this Month of Service. Let's work together to make November a month of growth, achievement, service to others, and academic excellence.
Hoka Hey!
Jamie Baldwin, Principal
