Principal's Message
Dear Alta Mesa Families,
Last week was a wonderful start to the school year. My heart is full, and I am deeply thankful that you trust us with your children. It has been so exciting to see our Eagles on campus, ready to learn and grow!
Our next Booster Club meeting will be held on Wednesday from 6:00–7:00 p.m. in the library, and we would love to see a great turnout. Your participation is a wonderful way to be involved in your child’s school experience, and your ideas and energy make a real difference in supporting the growth and development of all our students.
Congratulations to Mrs. Duke’s class for being the first to complete all forms and earn a pizza party! Every class that reaches 100% will also receive a pizza party. In addition, congratulations to the Getzlaff family for earning dinner on Alta Mesa! This family was put in a drawing for filling out forms before the first day of school. If you have not completed your child's forms, please do so. They are required and they help make sure we have the most up to date information.
We are also accepting donations for our Health Office, and more information can be found below. If your student needs a backpack, please see the details below on how to request one. Alta Mesa shirt and sweatshirt orders are now open, and more information is available below. Finally, we have an open Campus Instructional Assistant (CIA) position; details on how to apply are included below.
Thank you for your continued support in making Alta Mesa a welcoming and inspiring place for our students.
Thank You,
Kristen Crites

Parent Portal Log-In
All parents, including new parents, should have logged into the Parent Portal at some point already. Why do you need to create a parent account? This is a secure platform through which you will view your child's teacher/class, receive your child’s report card, complete enrollment, and complete the necessary beginning-of-the-year school forms like your child's emergency card.
Click HERE for the link to the parent portal. If you cannot log-in successfully, please call our school's office at 224-4130. Be sure to keep your log-in information in a safe but accessible place.
