Student Clubs
Alpine Elementary is excited to announce another round of Student Clubs! The majority of the cost of the clubs is being paid for by our Alpine PTO, using funds raised from our FundRun. All clubs will run weekly on Wednesdays for 8 weeks, from October 22nd to December 17th (except Puzzle Club and ASL Club which will begin Oct. 29th). Classes will be held from 3:45-4:45. Students will check in with Lion’s Den after school and then the teacher will collect them to go to their club space. Students will be dismissed back to Lion’s Den and parents will need to pick up from the cafeteria door. Please be considerate of your child’s attendance and let the club teacher know if they will be absent. Please try not to miss more than one class so students can maximize their club experience. If you have any questions please call the office or contact the staff member running the club. Club sign-up will be available at stvrain.revtrak.net on Wednesday, October 15th at 8:00AM.

What is Inquiry-Based Learning?
One of the most important features of the IB PYP is its inquiry-based approach to learning. Instead of teachers simply giving answers, students are encouraged to ask questions, explore, and investigate topics that connect to real life. Inquiry can take many forms—finding out new information, testing ideas, solving problems, or reflecting on experiences.
Through inquiry, students learn how to think critically, work collaboratively, and apply their learning in meaningful ways. For example, a unit about “Sharing the Planet” might lead students to research water conservation, interview community members, and design their own action projects. Inquiry empowers children to be curious, engaged, and active participants in their own learning, preparing them to be lifelong learners.
