Alamosa Park Family Letter - 11/20/2020

11/20/2020
11/20/20

Dear Alamosa Park Families,
I hope you and your family are doing well. I would like to express my gratitude to the Alamosa Park Community for the support you are providing our students. The teamwork and two-way communication between Alamosa staff and families is so important for everyone’s safety and health. Additionally, when we are communicating with each other, we are able to build support for student performance and progress in all areas, as well as build on social and emotional development. I look forward to our Parent Conferences, which will take place during the week of Monday, December 7, to continue building on two-way communication with our families. Thank you for your support of your child’s education at Alamosa Park.

The purpose of this email is to notify parents and families about:
  • Wednesday - Friday, 11/25 - 11/27: No School - Thanksgiving Break
  • Student Picture Days: Thursday, 12/03 for Classic-enrolled students & Friday, 12/04 for Virtual-enrolled students.
  • Virtual Parent Conferences: Tuesday, December 8 – Friday, December 11 (Early Dismissal Days will be in place for the entire week of December 7) - to be scheduled by your child's teacher
  • Share the latest Community Update from VUSD Superintendent, Dr. Doyle.

​Student Picture Days: Thursday, 12/03 for Classic-enrolled students & Friday, 12/04 for Virtual-enrolled students.
  • Picture Day Schedule: Click HERE for the date and time for student pictures for your child's class - please .
  • Parking Note for Virtual Families (Click HERE): In an effort to keep our social distancing measures in place, we kindly ask that you arrive at your scheduled class time. Please park in a guest parking and wait in your vehicle until your class scheduled time is open. We will check temperatures prior to entering the side gate, closest to the park. Only one parent per student will be allowed on campus during their scheduled time. Thank you in advance for your support!
Virtual and Classic Parents and families can order and purchase pictures two ways:
Option (1): Use the envelope that will be sent home (envelope is also available in front office) with your child to order and purchase pictures with check made out to "Mike Shriver Photography".
Option (2): Parents may order online following the steps below: 
  • 1. Go to www.mikeshriverphotography.com
  • 2. Click on "order/proofs" 
  • 3. Follow online instructions 
  • 4. Save order # for future reference
  • Parents may come to front office during the week of November 30, or when they are on campus on Friday, December 4th, to pick up an order form and fill it out with photographers. 
  • Write order # provided online on the order form 
Unfortunately, this school year we will not be having group pictures - composite and individual pictures only. Thank you for your consideration of your child attending school pictures at the scheduled day and time. 

Alamosa Park Virtual Parent Conferences; Tuesday – Friday, December 8 – 11
  • Early Dismissal days will be in place for the week of December 7 to allow for Parent Conference meetings.
  • We would appreciate your every effort to share this conference opportunity with your child’s teacher. Parent-teacher conferencing is a time to share information and to exchange ideas and values important to child, parent and teacher.
  • How will I receive my child's Trimester 1 Progress Report?: Parents will receive the Trimester 1 Progress Report either in the regular U.S. mail, the Progress Report will be sent home with their child, or the teacher will share the progress report during the scheduled parent conference and send home in the mail after the conference.
  • Thank you for your support and attendance at the Parent Conference.
