"Special Edition" From The Mesa

Dear Alta Mesa Families,

I hope you all are enjoying your summer vacation. It is hard to believe that our first day of school is right around the corner. I am so excited to become Alta Mesa's new principal. The staff, as well as myself, have been working hard to get everything ready for school to begin. I would like to take a moment to tell you about myself. Professionally, I have taught 1st and 2nd grade for 17 years and was an Assistant Principal at Boulder Creek for the past two years. I can't think of a better way to celebrate my 20th year in education than becoming the principal of this incredible school. Personally, I have 2 teenage sons who keep my husband and me very busy. Ever since I was a young, I have always enjoyed helping children. I want to do what is in the best interest of each student and will continue "To Enrich Hearts and Minds" as Alta Mesa's motto says. Our all school Meet and Greet is on Tuesday, August 13th from 11:30-1. I hope to meet some of you then. If you are unable to attend the Meet and Greet, no problem, I will meet you on the first day of school, which is Wednesday, August 14th. Please read the rest of this newsletter to find more information about important upcoming dates. I will be starting weekly Sundays from the Mesa on August 12. Should you have any questions, you can call or email me! Enjoy the rest of your day!

Thank You,

Courtney Haedrich

Our Fall picture day is right off the bat on Friday, September 6th!!! We will get more information out to parents as we start school, but make sure to mark your calendars.

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.

Alta Mesa is fortunate in that we have an amazing cafeteria staff (lead by Mrs. Claudia O'Dell pictured here) that provide top notch service to our students. All students eat well balanced meals at Alta Mesa and no student pays for breakfast or lunch! So don't fret about packing that lunch as our cafeteria is always available!

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.

Dress Code Reminders

As you begin your school shopping please remember students need to dress appropriately for a school day filled with lots of activities. Comfortable and safe footwear and clothing that allows for movement during recess and PE are the best way to support your student for school success.
Clothing should not be a distraction to the learning environment. Attached is a Dress Code for your reference that coincides with the EESD Dress Code guidelines for all schools.

We appreciate your support in helping students stay focused and safe while at school.
