The Duck Bus will be running 30 minutes late this afternoon. Thank you for your patience.
The Duck Bus will be ran as a second route today. Alma Duck Bus riders will be held at Alma until the second route begins. We have tried to contact everyone this affects, but incase someone wasn't reached, I'm sending out this notification. The Duck Bus will be running about 30 minutes later today. Thank you.
Reminding everyone that School Pictures will be taken at Alma tomorrow, October 4th. Picture Perfect Day!!
October 3, 2018. The Car Bus will be running a late route today. We are trying to call all our parents that may be affected by this change. In case we weren't able to reach everyone, I wanted to post the information here. This only affects the CAR BUS riders. Thank you.
Farmer Day in Preschool!! Homecoming Week at Alma is always funny.
Thanks to first grade for a great field trip today to Parker Pioneer. I was just informed that some parents only had to pay $5 for admission to the park. This of course would throw up a red flag since we requested $7 per student. I simply want to share with all our parents that we were quoted that cost per child and to our knowledge that is still what we are paying per student. That price was for admission and nothing more. I just don't want anyone to think that we are charging students more than the admission cost. Why parents were charged $5 and students $7, we do not know. Thank you for your time to read this clarification.
Homecoming Spirit Week Dress-up Days at Alma Spikes!!!! Monday-Favorite Decade Day; Tuesday-Farmer Day; Wednesday-Favorite Holiday Day; Thursday-Picture Perfect day(It really is pic. day); Friday-Red/White Day.
Alma Spikes wishes Sr. High Redskins a great game tonight. Thanks to the team and Coach Baty for making our Alma arrival a special event on Fridays. GO SKINS!
First Grade is on the ball. The Parker Pioneer field trip is scheduled for Sept. 26th. I'll post any changes, if they occur.
Wow!!!! It's almost here. Alma Spikes orientation is this Thursday the 9th. Preschool: 5:15; First Grade: 6:00; Second Grade: 7:00. We will begin in the cafeteria before going to the rooms.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! Class placements have changed for some students. First grade has broken the 180 student mark and we are rearranging some placements due to this large number. Thanks to Ms. Sarah Rogers' willingness to address the need, she is moving to First Grade. This means that we will have nine Kindergarten rooms, nine First grade rooms, and seven Second grade rooms. The second grade class she left has been adsorbed by the other second grade teachers. A new first grade class has been formed by absorbing students from other first grade rooms. We are excited about this change and believe that it is the best decision for our growing number of students. Thank you. Shawn Cart
