📅✨ The 2025–26 School Year Calendar is here!

As we get ready to end this amazing year we have had, we also begin to plan for an exciting new year of learning and growth!

We encourage all families to take a moment to review the calendar and write down those important dates! 🖊️

Scheduling family trips and appointments during school breaks makes a BIG difference in your child’s success. Every day in class is a building block toward their confidence, connection, and achievement. 🧠📚💪

Cell Phone Policy

Please see the Alvord Unified Cell Phone Policy posted above. This policy will go into effect next school year, 2024-2025.

Here is the current Cell Phone Policy, as defined within the Student Handbook that was shared at registration:

The use of cell phones and/or smartwatches is prohibited during the instructional day. Electronic devices must remain out of sight and turned off or on silent mode. If a staff member sees a student with a cell phone or smartwatch during the instructional day, it will be confiscated and held for parent/guardian pickup. If a student needs to contact home for any reason, they may use one of the school phones.

Students attending the after-school program must comply with the program's policy on cell phone use. If a family member needs to contact a student, they are asked to call the school office or the ELOP office if after school hours.

🧠💚 As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a close, we want to remind our families that mental health matters every day—for students, parents, and staff alike.
Taking care of our emotional well-being is just as important as taking care of our physical health. Whether it's talking things out, setting boundaries, practicing gratitude, or simply pausing to breathe—every little step counts. 🌿💬✨
We've gathered a few helpful resources to support your family’s mental wellness—because strong minds build strong futures. 💪📘
Let’s continue to check in with one another, show kindness, and make mental health a year-round priority. 💛
