Dear Alta Mesa Families,

Happy Superbowl Sunday!!! GO Niners!!! It's also Valentines Week!!! We had an awesome Family Dance on Friday which was a great prelude to Valentines Day. I want to thank our Parent Club for hosting that event. Students had a great time dancing to some classic songs!

We have also made it to the last week before our February Break. Reminder for parents that there is now school next week Feb. 19th-23rd, 2024. We return to school on Feb. 26th.

If you have not done so yet, please take a few moments to fill out our Alta Mesa Parent Survey. Your feedback is important to us. It only takes a few minutes and the survey is linked below.

This is going to be a great week. I also want to wish everyone a great week off next week.

Thank You,

Ryan Miller

Principal-Alta Mesa School

Each year our district seeks out input from our school community on how we can improve. Please take a few minutes to complete the EESD Parent Survey. We appreciate your feedback!

Congratulations to Claudia Odell! She is the genius behind the highest level of food service in our district, and in my belief the entire county! She is being honored as the EESD 23-24 Employee of the Year in Food Services. She is the epitome of what you want in a cafeteria manager. She goes above and beyond for students, staff, and families. I cannot say enough good things about her!!! We love you Claudia!! Congratulations!!!

Habit Highlight - Habit 1

The first habit of effective young leaders is BE PROACTIVE. Your student is learning that they are in charge of their choices, and what they choose to do impacts their life. Being proactive with good choices helps create the life they want to live.

Habits at Home - Conversation Starters:

TK-1st: What is your favorite chore? How does it help your family?

2nd-3rd: When was the last time you tried something new? What was it?

4th+: How are you pursuing your dreams and goals right now?

It's already that time of year again - New Student Registration Time!

We are currently in our open enrollment period. We are enrolling students both in the district and out of the district. You can begin the enrollment process by clicking HERE.

If you have specific questions, you may contact our Student Services Clerk, Michelle Poland at mpoland@eesd.net or 530-224-4130.

**REMEMBER** You do not have to re-register your child if he/she is already an Alta Mesa student.

Please take a few minutes to watch our video on some of the benefits of enrolling students in Transitional Kindergarten.
