School Information

Congratulations to our students and teachers and parents!

I normally do not include these items in my weekly emails, but I probably should more often…I just want to congratulate our students and teachers on the fantastic work that has been done on our end of year RISE testing. Friday, we completed our testing and we are seeing fantastic results. Every grade, 3rd-6th, who take the RISE end of year tests, saw great improvement! Our overall school-wide English Language RISE scores improved from 67% last year to 71% proficiency this year. That is a 4% increase. Our math scores went from 65% proficiency last year to 78% proficiency this year, a 13% increase and our science scores went from 65% proficiency to 79% proficiency, a 14% increase. Overall, this represents an average proficiency above district averages of about 20%. I am very proud of all the hard work that our students, teachers, staff, and you as parents have shown during this school year. The things that you are doing at home, as well as the work our teachers and staff have put in are paying off for our students. Great job!

Student Hallway Pictures on Sale

We are excited to have the student pictures in the hallway on sale. We love having these pictures in the hallway and we use the proceeds from the sales to pay for the upcoming year’s pictures. The pictures are on sale for $8/ea. As we did last year, if your student is the only one in the pictures, you can pay and take the picture right then. If there are multiple students in the pictures, we will hold on to the picture and see if other students would like it as well so we can make copies of that picture. We will make sure the pictures are delivered to your student before the last day of school. Thank you for supporting this. We would love to continue this tradition but we do need your supporting in purchasing these photos!

School Community Council Candidate Forms

For our school community council for the 2024-2025 school year, we have 3 parent openings that need to be filled. These candidate forms need to be turned in by Monday, May 13th. Please see the attached form for more information on this service opportunity.

Playground Fundraiser

You may have noticed, but this year we are not doing a formal school fundraiser. However, we are doing an informal fundraiser to try and replace and add onto our existing playground. For the next few weeks, I will include this information in my weekly newsletter regarding this effort. This fundraiser is completely voluntary and we would love to collect as many donations as possible. We will not be sending home any flyers or information with your students regarding this fundraiser.

Much of the equipment on our current playground is decades old and has experienced a large amount of wear and tear. In addition, the number of items on our playground is not on par with the number of students on our playground, resulting in kids not finding things to do and being as active as we would like them to be during recess hours.

Our new playground design actually EXTENDS the playground by a large amount (near the portables) and adds several new pieces of playground equipment, including an entirely new ninja obstacle course, a new climber spinner, a brand-new slide, additional swings, and benches and shade canopies for students wanting to read or sit and chat. Take a look at the new playground designs attached!

In total, the new playground will cost roughly $135k, and we as a community will need to raise the funds. We would like to open up the opportunity for parents and businesses to make a donation for the playground. 

As part of the new playground, we will include a permanent sign displaying names and logos of those donors who are able to make significant contributions. Logos and names displayed on the permanent sign will be tiered according to the following donation amounts:

• Bronze = $10k or less

• Silver = $11k – $25k

• Gold = $26k – $50k

• Platinum = >$50k

To make a donation, please make a check out to the Alpine School District Foundation and drop it off to our front office. Construction will commence as soon as we reach our playground fundraising goal.

Let’s give our students an awesome new playground so they can stay active and healthy while they’re on school grounds!

Kindergarten Registration continues this Week!

We want to make you aware that we are continuing our Kindergarten Registration for the 2024-2025 year. This takes place online via our school website. You can click on this link http://alpine.alpineschools.org to access our website. You will need to upload a few items to complete your student’s registration.

1. Birth Certificate

2. Proof of residency-this can be a rental agreement, utility bill, etc. Something that has your name and address on it.

3. Proof of immunization-we know that you may not have these done yet, so if you do not have these completed yet, it is ok. You can get these to us later.

We will also be available to help those with the registration process (computers, etc) if you would like to come in and register in the main office during the week. Additionally, if you know of anyone that does not have a student currently at our school but may have a kindergarten student next year, you may forward this email on so they have this information.

If you do have a kindergartener to register, we ask that you do it as soon as possible as this allows us to get a better number on staffing, etc for the upcoming year. 

Please let me know if you have any questions. You may respond to this email or email me at [email protected].

Seeking Performers, Talent & Volunteers for our Multicultural Family Event in May!

In lieu of a normal spring carnival (new district policy bans the use of any inflatables or rides) we are planning a big “Family Party” with a multicultural theme. We are hoping to provide entertainment/performances, food, games and crafts. We need your help to make it successful though!

Right now we are looking for 2 things:

1. People to participate on the planning committee

2. Any connections to any multicultural performers or entertainment (we’d love to find at least 5-8 performances to share that evening)

Chelsea Hertig is heading this up and really needs your help and community involvement to make this successful. Please email [email protected] for any leads on performers or if you’d like to help plan.

Thank you!
