Dear Alta Mesa Families,

We are now entering March! This is a fun month at Alta Mesa as it is our Literacy Month!! Throughout the month of March we challenge our student to read each night. We will provide a digital reading log attached to each newsletter this month. We have given a reading goal for each classroom/grade level. Please have your child read the allotted minutes per week and then submit the reading log on Thursday evening. Students who have reading logs submitted will receive a prize on Fridays.

We also have a competition at each grade level for the student who reads the most words throughout the month. This is for our 1st-5th grade students and is calculated using accelerated reader. Those students will win a special prize at the end of the month.

We end this week with our Trimester 2 awards assemblies on Friday. Notications have been sent out to those teachers whose students are receiving awards. Our TK-2nd grade assembly is at 12:40-1:20 and our 3rd-5th grade is from 1:20-2:00

There will be other events throughout the month of March so stay tuned through out newsletter. It's going to be a great week!
