Last week!!!! We can do it!!!

It is with great excitement that Alma Public Schools announced the addition of tuition based childcare and preschool to Luce Road. While those limited slots fill, our staff prepares for all of the changes we have planned for the 2023-2024 school year.
As many already know, Alma Public Schools is restructuring our building alignment. This realignment will relocate all first-grade classrooms to Hillcrest Elementary, creating a 1st-3rd building. Our teams have worked diligently since this decision was made to ensure our students will have an amazing transition. The first-grade team will begin their move in June. This move comes with many questions that the district has spent a great deal of time addressing.
Now that we have answers, we have offered open stakeholder sessions. The final meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 24th, 5:00 PM located at Alma Middle School Library Media Center. We look forward to seeing you!

What a GREAT week! One week left for raising money for the FUN RUN!!! We can meet our goal!!!
