Peer pressure is powerful. Preparation is stronger.
One of the easiest refusal skills to teach a teen? A ready-made exit line:
💬 “I can’t. My parents check up on me.”
Simple, believable, and effective. When teens practice what to say before they're in a tough situation, they're more likely to make safe choices when it counts.

🚨 Community Notice 🚨
Alto ISD would like to let our community know that local law enforcement agencies will be conducting training exercises on our campuses July 21-22.
During this time, you may notice an increased presence of police vehicles and other emergency response vehicles on campus. In addition, Alto Middle School will be completely closed to visitors. There is no emergency and no cause for alarm. These training exercises help ensure that our local first responders are prepared to respond quickly and effectively should the need ever arise.
We appreciate the continued partnership between Alto ISD and our local law enforcement agencies as we work together to keep our students, staff, and community safe.
Please join us in welcoming Mrs. Abbey Holmes, who will be teaching Middle School Reading this year!
Mrs. Holmes brings a passion for building meaningful relationships with students and helping them grow both academically and personally. While she has taught learners of every age—from kindergarten through adults—she says that "middle school has my heart." She loves the energy of those formative years, sharing that "the big personalities, constant changes, and watching students figure out who they are makes every day an adventure."
Outside of school, Mrs. Holmes enjoys spending time with family and friends, cheering on her favorite sports teams, and, as she puts it, "convincing myself that I definitely have room for one more plant." Mrs. Holmes is excited to become part of the Yellowjacket family and says, "I can't wait to meet the students, families, and staff. Here's to a great year—see y'all soon!"

Ms. Parker brings 20 years of experience teaching reading and is excited to begin a new adventure in Alto as our 3rd Grade Reading teacher. She can't wait to meet her students and share her love of reading while helping them grow into confident, lifelong learners.

We are thrilled to have Ms. Parker join the Yellowjacket family and look forward to the knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm she will bring to our students.

We're grateful to be able to share our school track with the Alto community! As a friendly reminder, pets are not allowed on the track.
This helps us keep the track clean, safe, and enjoyable for everyone who uses it!
Think teachers get the whole summer off? Think again! ☀️📚
Even during summer break, our teachers are investing their time to become even better for our students. These four dedicated educators recently spent two full days at EBCON learning new strategies and best practices to support our emergent bilingual students.
📱 Alto ISD Families: Stay Connected!
As many of you know, the Alto ISD app is your one-stop place for district news, live feeds, events, calendars, cafeteria menus, and more.
Beginning in August, we'll also be using the app to send school and district communications—similar to how we previously used Remind. Since Remind is no longer available, the Alto ISD app will become our primary communication tool.
If you haven't already, now is a great time to download the Alto ISD app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store so you're ready to receive important updates when school begins.
We look forward to keeping you informed all year long!

Thank you to our local Brookshire Brothers for graciously hosting a community drive to college hygiene items and socks for Alto ISD students!

We are especially grateful to Morgan Nickle and the Brookshire Brothers Pharmacy team for organizing and leading this wonderful effort. We are blessed with incredible community partners who continually step up to support our students and families.
