Mr. Davis’s Ag Mech/Metal Tech classes are off to a great start this year! They’ve already completed several projects, and along the way they’re putting their math skills to work. Today they calculated the cost of 14-gauge metal per square inch and then translated that into the cost of an entire sign!
Mr. Conley enjoyed meeting members of the Alto Lions Club at their meeting yesterday!
Alto Varsity Football will play at Hull-Daisetta on Thursday, September 11, with kickoff at 7:00 p.m. Because Hull-Daisetta is a 2.5-hour trip by bus, Alto ISD will release early at 2:00 p.m. that day.
This early release is necessary so that buses can complete their regular routes and then transport the football team, band, and cheerleaders to the game. We appreciate your understanding!

Our third grade students are practicing greater than/less than while enjoying a friendly game of "Comparing War". Hands-on activities like this make learning stick!
📢 Reminder:
This Friday is a regular school day and all students are expected to attend.
After this week, there will only be one more regular Friday all year — January 23. Remember: When we’re off on Monday, we go to school the following Friday!

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! 💛

🏈 Varsity – moved to Thursday, Sept. 4 at Cayuga, kickoff at 7:00 PM
🏈 JV – moved to Tuesday, Sept. 2 in Alto, kickoff at 7:00 PM
🏈 JH Scrimmage vs. Shelbyville – CANCELLED

Don't forget! School will be Tuesday - Friday this week.
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! 🙌
Kheenan spends countless hours behind the camera, capturing every play and every moment of Yellowjacket and Lady Jacket athletics. His talent, hard work, and dedication make such a huge impact on our programs, and we’re so proud to see him recognized!

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!
