Principal’s Notes
Hello Alpine Families,
During the upcoming five weeks of school, attendance, especially in third through fifth grade will be of the utmost importance. Our students are preparing for the state CMAS assessments that will begin April 9. Students will be honing their skills, reviewing old content, and learning new material for the tests. We look forward to all of our students being at school so we can prepare them to be their best.
With gratitude,
Amber Marsolek – Principal
Jennifer Dalby – Dean of Students

Innovation Center Opportunities
We have several upcoming STEM learning opportunities at the Innovation Center for elementary students. We would love for you to share with your staff and families.
STEM Night and Student Design Guild
The STEM Night and Student Design Guild at the Innovation Center focuses on activities for preschool and elementary school-aged children and is scheduled for Tuesday, May 7, 2024 from 4 pm to 7 pm. STEM Night will highlight different STEM activities for students, including learning what it’s like to participate in our many divisions: Aeronautics, Bioscience, Computer Science / Cybersecurity, Design and Virtual Reality, Entrepreneurship, Robotics, and Studio/Video Productions.
The Student Design Guild, hosted with the STEM Night events listed above, provides students with an opportunity to identify relevant problems and showcase their solutions to an authentic audience. Students can use the Design Thinking Process, the Scientific Method, the Engineering Process, or any other problem solving process to become deep thinkers about the world around them.

Over the summer we will have opportunities at the IC for students who have completed Kindergarten through high school. Most camps are one week in duration, but there is one two-week program, Innovation Academy, available to students currently in kindergarten, first or second grade who will be rising 1st, 2nd, & 3rd graders this summer. In addition, we have several other “Super STEM” camps for K-5 students. Please include in your upcoming parent and staff communications / newsletters the link to our website for summer programming.
