2/25/2021
​02/25/21

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:
  • Transitional Kindergarten & Kindergarten Registration for the 2021-22 School Year
  • Black History Month
  • Read Across America Day (March 2, 2021)
  • Reminder to parents to help students arrive to school on time
  • Community Update (02/23/21) from our VUSD Superintendent, Dr. Doyle – including the Consolidation Task Force Survey (Survey is open through Friday, March 12, 2021)

Thank you to those who were able to attend the Morning with Principal meeting on Tuesday, 02/23/21, 8:15 – 9:15 a.m. on Zoom. Please click HERE for the agenda. Thanks for your support!

Black History Month

At Alamosa Park, many of our students have been engaged in learning more about African American history and the accomplishments of African American leaders. Different grade levels have provided students the chance to learned how Civil Rights has shaped our culture by examining the work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rosa Parks; they have studied and presented information about influential African Americans such as Harriet Tubman, Oprah Winfrey, Muhammed Ali, Barack Obama, Amanda Gorman, and Jackie Robinson; and engaged in dialogue about African American history as part of our curriculum.
As we celebrate Black History Month, my hope is that we continue to celebrate and learn more about the contributions of African Americans as well as all leaders and influencers, regardless of ethnicity, all year. Thank you for the work of our teachers and our students’ work in learning more about the contributions of African American’s leaders from our past and present who have made and continue to make a positive difference across America.

Read Across America Day - Dr. Seuss Day (Tuesday, March 2, 2021)

On Tuesday, March 2, to celebrate the birthday of Dr. Seuss, students are invited to dress-up as their favorite story book character. Virtual and Classic students will be exposed to various fun reading activities in class as well. I am planning on making appearances in classes to read fun stories to students as well. I look forward to celebrating Read Across America Day with our students on Tuesday, March 2. “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”- Dr. Seuss
