Dear Parents/Guardians
Hello Alpine Families,
We look forward to seeing so many of you at Alpine during this week. Please bring your lawn chair and watch your child enjoy field day. You can also pack a picnic lunch and join us on the last day of school for our all school picnic.
On the last day of school, report cards and class placement letters for next year will go home. If you plan to leave school earlier, your child’s letter and report card will be mailed to you.
We look forward to a fun filled last week of school.
Sincerely,
Amber Marsolek, Principal

Does your child constantly seek out solutions to problems they encounter? Are they always designing, brainstorming, building and prototyping? Consider having your child enter the Student Design Guild where they can share and showcase their prototype of a problem they want to solve.
