03/26/2021

Dear Alamosa Park Families,

Thank you to all virtual- and classic-enrolled families, teachers, and support staff for your continuous support of Alamosa Park students! In this Family Letter is the following:

• Elimination of Rainy Day Early Dismissal – Alamosa Park will have Regular afternoon student Dismissal times on Rainy Days
• PTA Spring Virtual Book Fair
• Alamosa’s Got Talent – Virtual Talent Show
• Trimester 2 Progress Reports – coming home this Friday, March 26
• Community Update (03/24/21) from our Superintendent, Dr. Doyle
• Happy Spring Break! School resumes Monday, April 5

Elimination of Rainy Day Early Dismissal for Classic-Enrolled students
From this day forward, Alamosa Park will have Regular Dismissal times on Rainy Days. Dismissal times during rainy days will remain the same as regular school day.
I am proud to share with you that we have been working behind the scenes to keep Classic-enrolled students in school full-day when it rains. From this point forward, all rainy days will now be full school days for Vista Classic-enrolled students at Alamosa Park.
We will continue to ensure that students are practicing safety measures at lunchtime when their masks are removed to eat. We have put additional measures in place, such as additional canopies, that will keep students both safe and dry. Please click HERE for the lunch times and dismissal times.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Trimester 2 Progress Reports
As a reminder, you will be receiving your student’s Trimester 2 Progress Report very soon.

• Virtual student Progress Reports will be mailed home after March 25, which means that Virtual families will not receive their child’s progress report until Monday, March 29, or soon thereafter.
• Classic student Progress Reports will go home with students on Friday, March 26.

This is a perfect time to review progress, strengths, and focus areas with your child. Please contact me (kyleruggles@vistausd.org) or your child's teacher for any questions about the progress report.
