Dear Falcon Families,

As we work together to ensure the safety and well-being of our students, I want to kindly remind everyone to be timely and efficient when picking up your Falcons at the end of the school day.

To help maintain a safe and secure environment:

- Please use the designated pickup areas on campus.

- Avoid arranging for your student to be picked up at the park. We have noticed increased activity in that area, and our goal is to keep all Falcons and their families as safe as possible.

Your cooperation and support in following these guidelines are greatly appreciated. Together, we can create a safe and welcoming end-of-day routine for everyone.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Sincerely,

Joshua Peebles

Principal, Alice Vail Middle School

Many of our teachers are deep diving into technology integration. Teachers manage student devices with their issued iPad. They collect student feedback through forms, surveys, quizzes, and online platforms. Teachers encourage students to choose apps to demonstrate their knowledge of content. These technology tool uses and more allow for greater teacher-student discourse, more detailed lesson planning, and freedom to include tangential and extended learning.

• All cellphones are in students' backpacks during the school day.
  
• 2024-2025 Student Code of Conduct
• Pick/Up - Drop/Off on Beverly Ave. Thank you for your continued patience and grace. Safety is our number one concern. We continue to look into how we can improve this process.
