Hello Wildcats!
We hope everyone had a wonderful start to the 2026–2027 school year! It has been exciting to welcome our students back to campus and see our Wildcats learning, reconnecting with friends, and settling into their new classrooms.
🐾 Stay Connected with Wildcat News
Each week, our Wildcat News – Home-School Connection will be sent digitally to families via email and posted on our school website at 3:00 p.m. The weekly newsletter will include important school updates, upcoming events, reminders, and a glimpse into what our students are learning and what we are working on across campus. Please click on this LINK to see this week’s Wildcat Weekly- Home School Connection, week 2.
Please make it a habit to check your email each week so you don’t miss important information!
📋 Complete the Parent Confirmation Process
If you haven’t already done so, please complete the Parent Confirmation Process through the Aeries Parent Portal. Keeping your student’s information current and accurate is important for communication and student safety.
Families who qualify may also be eligible for valuable benefits, including a free transit pass, PG&E CARE Program, internet discounts, and a P-EBT card. Click HERE to learn more and request an FRPM Eligibility Letter.
🏫 Welcome Back Information
If you did not receive a Welcome Back Letter, copies are available in the school office and on our website. Click HERE to view the Welcome Back information online.
🚗 Campus Arrival & Dismissal Safety
As we continue to settle into our school routines, please use extreme caution when driving around campus. The student drop-off and pick-up lane in front of the school is intended for quick loading and unloading only.
If you would like to walk your child to class, please park on the street and walk onto campus.
Families of students with special needs: If your child’s needs require additional safety support during arrival or dismissal, please visit the school office to request an approved parking pass. Families with an approved pass clearly displayed on their dashboard may park in the designated area next to the cafeteria in the staff parking lot.
Thank you for helping us keep our students, families, and staff safe.
🎥 Welcome Back & Orientation Information
Don’t forget… School starts at 8:00 sharp and we begin closing our gates by 8:05. To view a Welcome Back video from our administrators, click HERE. And for the TK and Kindergarten Orientation slides, click HERE.
📚 Summer Slide Reading Challenge
If your child completed the Summer Slide Reading Challenge, please have them turn in their reading log to the school office. Prizes will be awarded on August 11! 🎉
Thank you for your partnership and continued support as we begin another wonderful year at Alvarado. We are looking forward to an amazing year of learning, growth, and success together!
Go Wildcats! 🐾💙💛
Sincerely,
Mrs. Alday
