Members of Alto FFA recently trained our fourth graders on how to properly raise and lower the flags at Alto Elementary. We’re proud of these students for learning this important responsibility and grateful to our FFA members for taking the time to teach them!
Parents and Guardians of Alto ISD Students,
The Texas Legislature recently completed the 89th Regular Session, which included several updates to Texas education laws. One of the most significant changes involves student discipline under House Bill 6 (HB 6).
To help families understand these changes, the state has created a graphic highlighting the key updates, which we’ve included below. Paper copies will be sent home with progress reports. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s campus administration.
Grandparents and grandfriends--please join your elementary students for lunch to celebrate Grandparents' Day! To submit information for your visitor badge, please fill out the form linked below or at the QR code. There will be a visitor check-in table at the cafeteria doors.

Each year, the Texas Education Agency issues accountability ratings that measure how well schools are helping students learn, grow, and prepare for the future. These ratings are based on factors like academic achievement, student progress from year to year, and how well schools are closing learning gaps.
Visit TXschools.gov to see the rating for your child’s campus and explore details about how each school is preparing students for the next grade level — and for success after high school.

🚨 School Bus Safety Reminder 🚨
It’s back-to-school season, and that means Alto ISD school buses are back on the roads! Let's keep kids safe by following the law and staying alert:
🛑 STOP for School Buses
Texas law requires drivers in both directions to stop when a school bus has flashing red lights—unless there’s a raised median or physical barrier between you and the bus.
📍 Left-turn lanes don't count as dividers—drivers on both sides must stop.
🚂 Bonus Tip: All school buses stop at railroad crossings—be patient!
Driver Safety Tips:
• Watch for kids near bus stops and school zones
• Slow down—especially during pickup/drop-off times
• Expect the unexpected—children may dart into the street
• Know the laws and help protect young lives
Thank you for helping us keep our students safe! 💛🖤
