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.
