Brief Message From the Principal

Dear Altoona Elementary Families,

As we prepare to close out the year, I want to take a moment to wish you all a joyous and restful winter break. This season is a wonderful opportunity to spend quality time with loved ones, reflect on the year's blessings, and recharge for the exciting adventures ahead.

Please stay safe during your travels and enjoy the special moments that this time of year brings. Whether you're building snowmen, cozying up with a good book, or simply sharing laughter around the table, may your break be filled with warmth, love, and happiness.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school in the new year, refreshed and ready for more learning, growth, and success!

THERE IS NO SCHOOL -- Monday, December 23, 2024 through Wednesday, January 1, 2025.

SCHOOL RESUMES -- Thursday, January 2, 2025.

Happy Holidays and best wishes,
Mr. Miller
