Sundays From The Mesa # 37

Dear Alta Mesa Families,

We are down to our last three weeks of school. We have completed most of our CAASP testing, and only have make-ups left to do. Our students have worked incredibly hard and I am very proud of their effort.

This week is our last week of 4/5 softball and flag football. Both days our teams are away. They are at Boulder Creek on Tuesday and at Rother on Thursday. This was the inaugural season of flag football and it's been an amazing addition to our after school sports offerings. Both of our teams have had an amazing season and

This is our last call for yearbook sales. We have already submitted our school order, but have a few extra so if you have not yet purchased a yearbook swing by the office.

This week our 5th graders are finishing up their state science test on Tuesday and Thursday, so parents please continue to support your students through testing. 5th graders also have Parsons Invasion day on Wednesday. This is a great opportunity for our 5th graders to get taste of middle school.

It's going to be another amazing week at Alta Mesa!!! Summer is almost here!!

Wednesday, May 22nd is Parsons Invasion Day for 5th grade students. This is a fun event for students so we hope all 5th graders are able to attend. The day starts out with a tour where students get to see the 6th grade classes, cafeteria, library, and gym. Then all students will attend a band and choir performance!

Open House will be Tuesday, May 28th. Parents/Guardians will start in the gym at 5:30 for Mr. Miller's welcome and opening remarks. Booster Club will follow with an Ice Cream Social for students and families and then classrooms will open up at 6:00PM.

On Wednesday, May 29th there will be music performances for 3rd-5th graders. Students will perform 3 pieces of music and will be demonstrating what they have learned throughout the year. Invitations will be coming home soon!

Thanks to our wonderful Booster Club and all the fundraising we have done over the school year there will not be a fee for the Aquatic Center field trip. Our trip is planned for Thursday, May 30th and have the Aquatic Center reserved for three hours! The buses will pick us up at 8:40 and drop us off at 9:00 and will pick us up from the Aquatic Center around 12:15.

Aquatic Center reminders:

• Make sure your student is wearing their swim suit and has a change of clothes
• Apply sunscreen on your student before they arrive to school - students are allowed to bring sunscreen but will have to apply it themselves or have his/her own parent assist
• Bring a towel
• Make sure your student arrives to school on time because the buses cannot wait, we will be leaving promptly at 8:40
  

Alta Mesa will be hosting our annual parent appreciation curbside coffee on Friday, May 31st from 7:40-8:20! This is one way we like to say THANK YOU for your partnership and continued support throughout the year. Make sure you stop by and grab a cup of coffee and say hello to your child's teacher!

On Friday, May 31st we will be hosting our trimester 3 awards assembly. Teachers will reach out to parents individually if students are receiving awards.
