Principal's Message

Hello Alder Families,

We continue with positive and exciting happenings as we celebrate our school community, the joy of learning, and the connections that make our middle school so special.


This week we joined schools across the nation in honoring the importance of education and the incredible dedication of our teachers and staff. American Education week focuses on teachers and school staff and the tireless work they do to nurture and guide students toward academic success and personal growth. Education thrives with strong partnerships. By reinforcing the importance of family involvement and community support in schools. This week gives a chance to come together to build connections that help students SOAR to new adventures.


In collaboration with our school counselors, students participated in discussion focused on conflict resolution. They learned strategies to manage disagreements, communicate effectively, and maintain respectful relationships. These lifelong skills help create a supportive and inclusive school community.


Thank you for your continued support. Together, we can create an environment where every student feels safe, valued, and inspired to learn.



Have a wonderful weekend!


Ms. Cunningham
