Dear Alto Families,
The 1st trimester (ending today) has been very successful for our school! Report cards will go home on Friday, December 6th. Please contact your child’s teacher if you have questions or concerns after reviewing your student’s report card. Today is a half day for students with dismissal at 12 PM. The afternoon is an end of the trimester records day for our staff. We are excited to build upon the excellent teaching and learning that has occurred during the 1st trimester as we continue into the 2nd trimester. Thank you for your support!
