Today we celebrated the 100th day of school! The building was full of fun, laughter, and learning all around the number 100. One of my favorite days of the year!

As we approach single digit temperatures over the next few days, please make sure students are coming to school bundled up!! These are the school guidelines for outside recess.

Based on the information collected in our last survey, there is significant interest in Alma Public Schools offering daycare. Please understand that daycare is different than before and after-school care. Alma Public Schools is moving forward with after-school care options as soon as this year and will provide information as soon as the program is developed. The following survey will help guide us as we continue to listen to the community's needs. Thank you in advance for your participation.
