Wow! Each member of our staff will be receiving a free Comet Discount Card thanks to a VERY generous donation from Favorite Fishing! The guys at Favorite wanted to find a way to say thank you to all of our employees for the endless hours of work and dedication they put into the Alton School District. We couldn't be more grateful for this amazing gift! Thank you for making us feel loved!
*The money from today's donation will be put back into community based service projects :)

Comet Discount Cards are now on sale for $10 each!!!!
Please contact any elementary student or the elementary office to purchase! Notes will be sent home with students today.
This year, the proceeds will be used to meet needs in our community. A portion of the funding will be used for our clothes closet and other individual student needs. In addition, funds will also be used to help our students learn to pay it forward. We will be looking for opportunities throughout the year to give back to our community, as well as surrounding communities. When we actively engage students in being kind, compassionate, and empathetic, there is no room for hate.
The Alton Elementary Beta Club will be collecting canned goods, non-perishable food items, and personal care items every Friday starting October 2- December 11, 2020. When your child brings in a canned good, non-perishable, or personal care item they will be able to wear a hat on Friday. The items that are collected will be donated to the local food pantries.
Just a reminder that school jackets (letterman jackets)will be ordered on Tuesday, September 29th.

We have received word that Alton R-IV qualifies for free meals for all students through the USDA extension of the Seamless Summer Option (SSO) Program.
Starting Wednesday, September 16, 2020, ALL STUDENTS WILL RECEIVE BREAKFAST AND LUNCH MEALS AT NO COST TO STUDENTS.
The meals will remain free until further notice from USDA, or until December 31, 2020, whichever comes first based on additional information provided to the District from USDA regarding the extension of the SSO Program.
In the event your family normally receives free or reduced meals at school, we will still need you to complete and submit those forms to the school (if you have not already done so) so that you will be able to continue on that program without interruption when the SSO Program waiver ends.
Parents, please remember to send a water bottle with your child each day. We have supplied students with reusable water bottles, as needed. Make sure your child's name is on their water bottle and return it with them to school each day.
