“Soar to New Horizons” 2021-2022 School Theme
Tuesday, September 14, 2021
Dear Parents,
Last week was a great week. Students participated in activities of service, honoring frontline worker heroes in commemoration of 9/11. We cheered on our teams for homecoming, held an awesome homecoming dance, and participated in a slew of lunchtime activities. We have clubs that are starting up, and all-in-all, students have some great extracurricular and social activities. We value these. We know these things substantially enrich a high school experience. In addition, Jet Time is going better than ever. Students are connecting better with each other and their teachers. We are lucky to have a great staff supporting this.
As we move forward with this week, please make note of the following:
1. Mid-Terms
It is already mid-term this week! Please encourage your students to get on top of their assignments and homework. School is always better when students stay on top of their work. Regularly looking at Skyward is a great way to see how your student is doing. Feel free to reach out to any teachers with questions or concerns.
2. Order Pictures, & School Picture Final Retake Day – October 8th:
If you’d still like to order school pictures, please click here. If you missed our pre-boarding launch and didn’t get your school pictures taken, we will have a makeup day Friday, October 8th.
3. Chromebook Reminders:
-Parents have access to Blocksi, a program that helps you monitor, limit, and control your child’s use of their Chromebooks. Please see this training for signing up and using the program.
-For Chromebooks to be taken home, this form needs to be signed and returned to the attendance office. Please do so if you haven’t already. You can also use this video for instructions on how to do it in Skyward.
-The open enrollment for insurance on the Chromebooks closes on September 15. The insurance is a great deal! It only costs $25 for full coverage with no deductible. Please click here for more information and to sign up.
4. Lunchroom is hiring. The lunchroom is hiring for two positions currently. If you are interested please apply online at alpineschool.org. Hours are between 6:30 a.m. & 1:30 p.m. Perfect hours for parents who would like similar hours and days off as their students. If you have any questions please email [email protected].
5. Parent-Teacher Conferences
