Reminder to Alto ISD Families:
A new Texas law (Senate Bill 12) now requires parents and guardians to provide consent before schools can offer certain physical or mental health services to students. We can no longer assist your child with routine needs unless it is a life-threatening emergency without a signed consent form on file.
For example, without your consent, we cannot:
• Provide an ice pack for an injury
• Offer basic care if they aren’t feeling well
• Allow your child to visit the counselor if they are upset during the school day
Forms were sent home with all students. Please complete the form as soon as possible so your child can continue to receive these essential services at school. If you need another form, please contact your student's campus office.

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!
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!

🌟 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!
