Principal-Alta Mesa School

At our school, we believe every student is a leader, and this month we’re diving into Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind. This habit is all about setting goals to be successful! When we have a clear picture of what we want to achieve, it helps us make better choices now that can lead to awesome results later. Whether it’s finishing a project, getting to school on time, acing a test, or even thinking about future dreams, starting with a plan makes all the difference. Let’s work together to stay focused, make great decisions, and create the future we want, one step at a time!

Lost and Found is piling up! If your student's closet is missing jackets and sweatshirts, chances are they have made their way to the Alta Mesa Lost and Found! We also have lunch boxes and water bottles!

Swing by and check it out!

October 28th - 31st is Red Ribbon/Spirit Week at Alta Mesa. We will have themed dress-up days for the week and we will be allowing Halloween costumes for all TK-5th grade students. Costumes need to meet the dress code, and fake blood of any color is not allowed. In addition, weapons and masks associated with costumes as well as inflatable costumes need to stay at home. Costumes worn to school should not be scary or gory as we are a TK - 5th school, and some students, especially little ones, may have a negative adverse reaction to such costumes. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Dress up days:

Monday, October 28th: "Red"-y to be drug free - Wear red to support Red Ribbon Week

Tuesday, October 29th: Hats off to a healthy life - Wear your favorite hat to school

Wednesday, October 30th: Team up for healthy choices - Wear your favorite sports jersey or Alta Mesa Shirt

Thursday, October 31st: Say Boo to drugs - costume dress up day

The dress code applies (see handbook on the AM website)

Fake blood of any color is not allowed

Weapons (toy or otherwise) are not allowed

Costume masks are not allowed

Scary or gory costumes are not allowed.

No inflatable costumes. They are cute and fun, but not functional at school.
