Congrats to the most recent “Gold Standard” students at AMS, Kevin and Matthew! 💛🐝

Matthew comes to school with a great attitude and is ready to learn. His teacher is very proud of his effort and enthusiasm.

Kevin was chosen for helping keep the school clean and organized, often picking up after his classmates without being asked. His initiative and pride in his school set a great example for others to follow.

Happy National Coaches Day! 🏈 🥎 ⚾ 🏀 🏐 🏃‍♀️

Celebrated every year on October 6th, this day honors the incredible impact of coaches who serve as teachers, mentors, and role models—helping athletes grow in skill, character, and confidence. Established by President Richard Nixon in 1972, National Coaches Day recognizes the dedication and heart coaches put into guiding, motivating, and building teamwork and discipline in their players.

Let’s show our appreciation! 💛 Drop a comment below to thank our amazing Alto ISD coaches for all they do! 🖤🐝

💛🖤 Mini Cheer Camp was a huge success! 🐝✨
Our varsity cheerleaders had a blast teaching PK–6th grade Yellowjackets fun cheers and chants. The campers showed off what they learned in a special performance for their parents, and they’ll take the field again to perform before the Tenaha game this Friday night!

Way to go, future Yellowjacket cheerleaders! 💛🖤

Last Thursday was School Custodian Appreciation Day, and we want to give a huge thank you to our Alto ISD custodians—Rodolfo, Francisco C., Francisco O., and Joel! These hardworking, dependable, and trustworthy men keep our schools running smoothly each and every day, and we couldn’t do it without them.

AHS even caught a special moment celebrating Rodolfo—thank you all for everything you do for our students and staff! 💛🐝

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

This schedule allows our Junior High and JV football players, band members, and cheerleaders to participate before heading out for their away games. We love seeing all of our Yellowjackets come together to cheer on one another! 💛🖤

As always, the public is invited to pep rallies, but must sit in the designated area. Please do not enter the student section, and remember that students may not be picked up from the pep rally. Thanks for understanding!

AMS Gold Standard Award: Macoy N.

Macoy always demonstrates excellent manners and is respectful at all times. He helps others (for example, he helped a classmate pick up a mess and helped someone find their spot in the notes...both without being prompted by an adult), and exhibits the AMS gold standard qualities every day.

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.

SB 12. It's the law.
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!
