Dear Alto Families,

We have had another fantastic week here! Our students have established great routines and our classroom learning communities are thriving. I continue to be impressed with the high quality teaching and learning I see taking place every day. We continue to reinforce to our students that they are Safe, Thoughtful, Accountable, and Respectful as Alto Alto Stars. They are doing a great job in all settings within our school. We have amazing kids! Thank you for all that you do to prepare them for success each day.

M-Step Results

M-Step results for current 4th and 5th grade students will be sent home today. We are proud of the efforts of all of our students! Please contact your child's teacher if you have any questions or concerns regarding the results.
