Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from September 15 through October 15, and yesterday our first graders joined in the celebration! They enjoyed delicious food and a special presentation by Mrs. Eva Gonzalez Rios, who shared about Hispanic culture and traditions.
Thank you, Mrs. Gonzalez Rios, for helping our students learn and celebrate the rich heritage that makes our community so special!

📣 For the remainder of football season, pep rallies will begin at 2:30 p.m. 🎶🏈🐝

Several fourth graders recently read Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes by Eleanor Coerr. Today they successfully made their own paper cranes...and learned that origami is not easy!
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.

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!
