Programs
Alta Vista's Drama/Choir Dept.
Discover your voice in Alta Vista’s Choir and Theatre program! We’re learning new songs and exploring a fun curriculum filled with music, movement, and acting. This year, we’re bringing Willy Wonka Kids to life and adding puppets to the fun! We’re also planning field trips to Fresno’s Fox Theater and participating in the parade. Our past successes include Frozen Kids, The Jungle Book Kids, and The Lion King Kids. We celebrate talented singers, actors, and actresses of all ages. Music and acting strengthen memory, focus, creativity, and confidence. Students build friendships and learn to work together as they prepare for the stage. Come join us—no experience is needed, just a willingness to try! Even if you think you can’t—you can!

Alta Vista's Cheer Squad
Students interested in being on the cheer squad need to report to Miss Morales for more information. The Cheer Squad cheers at home games and performs at the WINGS assemblies. This is part of our 2nd hour of ELOP after school.
Alta Vista's Music Dept
AVS students have the extremely rare opportunity to participate in music ensembles that include all of the instruments of the symphony orchestra. Music instruction starts in preschool and continues through eighth grade. While our focus is creating music instrumentally, we do so with a heavy emphasis on literacy.
Alta Vista's AVID Class
28 Years of College Readiness and Academic Excellence! AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a college-going program designed to prepare students for academic success in high school, college, and beyond. Alta Vista School is proud to have offered the AVID program for 28 years and counting! Our AVID program serves 7th and 8th grade students, providing them with opportunities to develop strong academic skills, leadership qualities, confidence, and a college-going mindset. Many of our AVID students have successfully been reclassified from English Language Development (ELD). We continue to support their language development through meaningful interactions with native English speakers, collaborative group work, Socratic Seminars, AVID tutorials, academic discussions, and other activities that strengthen communication and critical-thinking skills. Students also participate in college campus tours, allowing them to experience college environments firsthand, explore educational opportunities, and envision themselves as future college students. Many of our AVID students are among Alta Vista's highest-performing students, demonstrating outstanding achievement on the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) and in their daily classroom work. Alta Vista Eagles — College Bound, Future Ready!
Alta Vista's ASB
Our ASB is made up students who have been elected as President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. 8th graders run as per our by laws. Each homeroom in 5th-8th grade then sends representatives. ASB conducts rallies and assemblies all year long TK-8. Some of their primary responsibilities are the family breakfasts, Pumpkin Patch/ Halloween activities, Dr. Seuss Week and much more. They are the leaders on the campus and attend TCOE sponsored ASB/ leadership symposiums. The Superintendent and Principal have allowed them to also make decisions that are student centered through our School Site Council. Aquila-our mascot- is part of ASB as well.
