Sundays From The Mesa # 24

Dear Alta Mesa Families,

We had a wonderful first week of February! We have a busy week coming up so please read through this message for all the information.

• Parent Club Meeting - Our parent club is hosting a meeting this Wednesday, February 12 at 6 in library. This is a great opportunity for your input on events happening for the rest of the school year.
• Art Club (K-3rd Grade) - Permission slips in the office starting Monday, February 10th.

• Parent Survey - 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!
• Love of Literacy Book Drive - Shasta County is hosting a book drive to fill up the free little libraries in town. If you have any gently used children's books that you would like to donate, you can bring them to the Alta Mesa office or any Les Schwab in town. Look at the flyer below. This book drive will end on February 14th. We will participate in the Drop Everything and Read event on Friday, February 14th at around 9a.m.
  
• There will be an Earthquake/Lockdown Drill on Thursday.
• Basketball Games - Monday we will be here against Mistletoe and Thursday we will be at home against Rother! Please see the weekly calendar below for game times.

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.
