The board meeting scheduled for November 10, 2021 has been postponed due to a lack of quorum. The board meeting has been rescheduled for November 17, 2021 at 6:00 PM.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Mr. Chiapa, Dr. Mitchell, Ms. Reilly and a group of Student Council members worked hard today. They passed out food in the earlier morning. And then worked for over 2 hours on the first part of our fence sign. More to come!🦅
Last week we celebrated "Bring a Teddy Bear to School" Day. Pre-school, TK and Kinder students received teddy bears and other stuffed animals from Mr.Teddy (Oliver Rodriguez) and the Student Council Leaders (Jose Lagunes, Daphne Harris, Kimberly Silva, Guadalupe Mendez and Hannah Jones). "We received so many thank yous from the littles!!!" 🧸🦅 View the rest of our pictures by clicking here https://www.altavistaesd.org/article/567774
As we start this year off, safety is on our mind. Please take a moment and review the follow pick up and drop off guidelines to help manage pick up and drop off with student safety in mind. 1. Please do not cross lanes to enter the parking lots. This causes lots of chaos and increases the possibility of injury to students. 2. Students should not use the parking lots as a walkway. See map for safe routes. 3. Pull all the forward so we can serve more than one vehicle. This allows us to move the cars through faster. 4. As always, keep a lookout for students that are out of place. 5. Maintain a safe speed while entering and exiting the parking lots. 6. Avoid entering parking lots against the flow of traffic. By observing these guidelines, we will help maintain a safe pick up and drop off for our students and parent.
Alta Vista will open the Doyle pick up starting August 25, 2021. If you have students that you would like to pick up in the new Kindergarten parking lot, then tell your students in the morning to go there for pick up. We have staff standing by to monitor students walking or getting picked up on the East end of campus. This is open to all grade levels. Thank you!

Alta Vista Families:
As the school year approaches, mask mandates are a controversial topic. The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have posted their guidelines and regulations. As a school we are obligated to follow them, however, we also highly value your opinions and feelings in regards to your children and their wellbeing. Please take a moment and answer the following questions to give us a better understanding of your concerns as a parent with the new regulations. Please respond by July 30, 2021
