July 23, 2017 Community Update

Sunday, July 23, 2017

Dear Advanced Learning Academy Families,

With the month of July coming to a close and our attention turning to the new school year, I am writing today to share a few updates!

Over the last few weeks, we have added information to our newly designed website including Arrival/Dismissal Information, School Supply Lists,  and Uniform Information.  

School Supply Lists
We have set up a donation link for families to donate a full or partial school supply kit for a student who may be in need.  If your family is in need to assistance for school supplies, please fill out this form so that we can get you additional support.

Uniform Information.  
We are asking every student to purchase one logo embroidered uniform shirt that they will be asked to wear for special events and  The attached Uniform Flyer includes details on where and when the shirts may be purchased.  The vendor will also be present at the ALA at Fox Teach Back to School Event on Thursday, August 3rd and the ALA at Euclid on Thursday, August 10th.  In next Sunday’s update we will have more information about these two upcoming events.  If your family needs assistance, Student Uniform Applications will be available in the front office at both ALA campuses beginning on Wednesday, July 26. Families are asked to include all children enrolled in any SAISD school on the one application.

Arrival/Dismissal Information
As a reminder, please do not drop off students earlier than 7:30 am at ALA at Fox Tech or Euclid as there is no morning supervision of students prior to 7:30 am  and the school doors will remain locked until 7:30 am.  More details, specific to 4th-11th, can be found on the link above.  Additional information for our Euclid campus will be posted in the next few days as well.

Finally, Laura Sisson and Heather Westerfield, our librarians, are are seeking volunteers to help grow our library program. They  are looking for volunteers that want to help check books in and out, shelve, and keep our libraries open even when they are in classrooms.  If you are interested in becoming a library volunteer, we would love to have you. Please contact Laura Sisson via email (lsisson@saisd.net) or  phone (210.738.9730) for more information.

Please do not hesitate to contact me or any of our faculty or staff members if you have questions or need any assistance as we start the new school year!

A special welcome goes out to our new-to-ALA families.

Sincerely,

Kathy Bieser
Principal
Advanced Learning Academy

  1. Are donations of school supplies still needed? We were unfortunately out of the country until the deadline to drop. Thanks!
