Principal's Message

Welcome to Alta School, home of the Eagles.  Alta has a long standing history of achievement and continues to provide its students with a challenging and rigorous bilingual academic program. Partnering with parents and community, the students at Alta have proven that being Safe, taking Ownership, having a good Attitude, and being Respectful (SOAR) will lead to productive, successful lives. Our staff is dedicated to help support each child learn in his/her own unique way and are committed to supporting all children in their academic/social needs and emotional growth. This year we challenge our students and staff to focus on essential learning and take flight to new academic heights!

 

Alta Elementary is home to the Kings Canyon Unified School District's Dual Immersion Program. Students in kindergarten through fifth grade receive bilingual instruction, with a strong focus on developing biliteracy, bilingualism, and cultural competency.

 

Alta will continue to focus on student academics, attendance, social emotional learning, and positive behaviors. Please feel free to visit the California School Dashboard to learn more about our school. https://www.caschooldashboard.org/reports/10622656006738/2018.  

Alta School is proud to partner with the Reedley Sunrise Kiwanis Club providing the Terrific Kids program, and the California Department of Education providing ongoing participation in the Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Program. These are great examples of how valuable partnerships with community, state, and federal programs continue to provide support for our students.

 

School attendance is important for the continued growth and success of your child. We encourage all students to attend school every day, and be ready to learn. If your child will be absent from school, please call 305-7210 or send a note to verify their absence. Please ensure that your child attends school daily, on time, and is prepared to learn.

 

We encourage all parents to get involved in our school community! If you're able to volunteer or join the Alta Parent-Teacher Club, we would love for you to be an active partner of your child's education. Please stop by the office to check-in and we will be happy to assist and support you. If you have any questions, please call the office at 305-7210. Our office is open from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. 

 

Sincerely,
Rosemary Ruvalcaba
