Alton R-IV Student Meal and Academic Packet Pickup Instructions for Sunday April 5, 2020 from 2:00-3:30 pm
We will follow the same general format and process as last week for those that participated concerning where and how vehicles drive through campus. Note the change in times to 2:00-3:30pm. Please do not arrive early and wait, as our staff will not be prepared to begin before 2:00pm.
Meal & Academic Packet pickup participants will circle the HS Building and receive food at the entrance to the Elementary Building. Requirements mandating the child be in the vehicle to receive the student meals have now been waived at the State of Missouri level. However, we do ask for integrity and ethical conduct from adults when obtaining the meals for children. Academic Packets from the week of March 30 – April 3 can be returned and exchanged for the Academic Packet for the week of April 6 – 10 as you exit campus going up the hill.
Academic Packet pickup and exchange only (no Student Meal pickup) will again occur on the east side of the Superintendent’s Office at the corner of Hodge and Owens streets and run from 2:00-3:30pm. Academic Packet pickup will again be for all students, grades PK-6 as well as select 7-12 students.
SENIORS: I am in my office from now until about 2:00 today. Please make sure you turn in all scholarships that are due today or tomorrow (Thurs. or Fri., April 2 or 3) by 2:00 today, Thurs. Make sure you have all documents with them. I am mailing them out today when I leave!
SENIORS: 6 scholarships are due today (Wednesday, April 1st) and 3 tomorrow. I am here until 1:30 or so today. Don't miss out! Mrs. Gilliland
5th and 6th Graders and Parents: Mrs. Gilliland, the high school counselor, is creating google classrooms for 5th and 6th grade. Your child should be receiving a message via their school email about joining the classroom. Please allow them to do so.
Mrs. Allen's 5th Grade English classes, I miss your smiles, laughter and wonderful conversations that we have throughout the day. Please check your school email and Google Classroom so that we can still have class discussions and just catch up on what everyone is doing during this long break.
I want my students to know that if they need anything to please reach out. We can talk (via phone or email or google classroom). If you are in need of anything else, I will do my best to get whatever I can for you. Mrs. Gilliland - High School Counselor

Alton R-4 will be extending our closure through April 24, 2020.
While nothing would make us happier as educators than to return to normal in-person operations immediately, that simply is not prudent or practical at this time. With that said, it also is not in anyone’s best interest to be left guessing on a daily and weekly timeline as to the operational plans of the Alton R-4 School District.
This closure extension through April 24, 2020 will include the formal position that no co-curricular or extra-curricular practices/competitions or events/trips will occur as well as the continued protocol of no public use of campus facilities by members of the community.
Please continue to check our website and Facebook page for ongoing updates and notices relevant to COVID-19 situation.
Seniors: 5 scholarships are due today Tuesday, March 31)! I will be here until 2:00 or so. Make sure you have them to me by email or bring them to me at the school before then.
9th - 12th Grade: If you planned to take a dual enrollment course for next year (2020-2021) and you did not return your application to me, please email me - pamgilliland@alton.k12.mo.us. I need this information by Wednesday, April 1st if at all possible. Mrs. Gilliland
