Sundays From The Mesa # 22

Dear Alta Mesa Families,

Welcome to Kindness Week!!! Kindness Week stretches across the country and is a great opportunity for us to focus on how we treat each other. This is coincides with the Habit of the Month we are focusing on which is Habit #4: Think Win-Win. Treating our community with kindness and respect gives everyone a win-win. As parents please check out our Kindness Week dress-up days and activities to help support Alta Mesa.

• Each year schools have the opportunity to gather input for the purposes of guiding us in setting school goals for the following year. As a parent of an Alta Mesa student you are an educational partner in this process. Here is the link to a short survey where you can provide input about Alta Mesa. We appreciate your feedback!
• Basketball Snack Bar Sign Up - We are looking for parents to sign up to run the basketball snack bar for the home games this season. All you have to do is show up for an hour. Thank you for your support.
  
• The 2023-24 School Accountablilty Report Card is now available online and you may also request one in print from the school office. Here is the link to the one available online.

It's going to be a great last week of January here at Alta Mesa. Thank you for your continued support!

For January and February, we’re focusing on Habit 4: Think Win-Win! At our school, we believe in creating a culture where everyone can succeed. This habit teaches students to look for solutions that benefit everyone - whether they’re working with classmates, teachers, or friends. By thinking win-win, we can build stronger relationships, solve problems in positive ways, and create a community where cooperation and kindness thrive. Let’s encourage our students to embrace this mindset at school and at home, helping everyone feel valued and successful!

CDPH has moved to a general framework to reduce the spread of all viral illnesses. There are no specific or differentiated guidelines for Covid alone. Please see the flyer below for information on what to do when your student is ill. If you have any questions, please contact our office.

Alta Mesa is a Preschool-5th Grade, as well as Mrs. Vice's 6th-8th Graders. At Alta Mesa, we believe that every student deserves a safe, enjoyable learning environment with exceptional instruction. Our caring, highly qulaified staff is committed to meeting the individual needs of each student in all academic areas. We believe that in order for students to grow intellectually and attain academic success, we must also address their social, emotional, and physical needs. We have been recognized for the past 5 years as a Capturing Kids Hearts National Showcase School. For more information you can follow us on facebook @altamesaschool or go to our website altmesa.eesd.net.
