Reminder: All students were sent home with consent forms. If a form is not returned (or consent is not given), school staff will not be able to treat any emotional or physical needs. That means we cannot provide even basic care such as giving a band aid or talking with your child about having a hard day.
Please return your form as soon as possible so we can continue to care for our students! 💛

Our Pre-K students have come so far already! 🎉 Past the tears and ready to learn, they’re practicing letters and numbers, building fine motor skills, exploring the library, staying active in PE, and growing into big kids before our eyes. 💛🖤
Our own Kheenan R. was featured in the Jacksonville Daily Progress AND Yahoo Sports! 🙌

Dear Alto FFA Parents,
All students in grades 3–7 brought home a flyer with information about our FFA program. Please note there are a few changes to the rules this year: baked goods, canned goods, and photography will no longer be offered at the Cherokee County Junior Livestock Show.
We look forward to having your child participate in our Jr. FFA program and can’t wait to see them in the show ring at the 2026 Cherokee County Livestock Show!

🌟 Shout out to Ms. Mac! After the storm in March ruined several “old school” projectors, insurance came through with new touch screens for some of our teachers. Mrs. Mac gave up her day off to help Mrs. Grimes get them set up, and she’s even been training other teachers on how to use them. Thank you for going above and beyond! 👏
JV will play Groveton in Alto tomorrow (Wednesday) and Varsity will play Groveton in Alto on Thursday. Don't miss the home openers!

📢 Important Notice for Parents/Guardians
On June 20, 2025, the Governor of Texas signed Senate Bill 12 (SB 12) into law. Beginning September 1, 2025, all Texas public school districts must have parental consent on file before providing students with any routine physical or health services.
This means that before school staff such as nurses or counselors can provide even simple care—like placing a bandage on a scrape, giving an over-the-counter medication, or assisting a student who is upset—we must have a signed consent form from a parent or guardian.
Consent forms will be sent home with students tomorrow. If the form is not completed and returned by September 1, 2025, school staff will not be able to provide your child with routine physical or mental health services. The only exception is in the event of an emergency requiring life-saving care.
We appreciate your prompt attention to this important change. Thank you for helping us keep your child safe and supported at school!
