Comet Families,
We regret to inform you that the City of Alton will need to turn off water on campus this Friday, February 2nd. This is due to a visitor to the school hitting a fire hydrant, which will need to be repaired. It is a lengthy process that could take most of the day. As a result, we will have to cancel school (02-02-24).
However, to minimize disruptions to your child's education, we will be sending work home with your child on Thursday. This work will need to be returned on Monday, February 5th. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding in this matter.
Mrs. Reese
Little League Sign Up Information!
We are excited to inform you that school WILL be in session tomorrow, January 25, 2024! We can't wait to see everyone!
Comet Families,
After careful consideration, it was determined that the county roads are unsafe for our buses. Alton R-IV will not be in session on Wednesday, January 24, 2024.
Comet Family,
Due to the rain, most of the ice on the roads has melted, but some gravel roads are still slippery. Therefore, we have decided to cancel school on Tuesday, January 23rd.
Mrs. Reese
Good evening, Comets. With the freezing rain expected in the morning, the entire Alton R-IV campus will be closed Monday, January 22nd. Stay warm!
Due to hazardous driving conditions on gravel roads, Alton R-IV will be closed on January 19, 2024. Stay warm!
Many of our gravel roads are still covered with snow and ice. We will not be in session on Thursday, January 18, 2024. Have a great evening!
Good afternoon! Due to snow-covered roads, Alton R-IV will be closed tomorrow, January 17th. Enjoy your day!
Alton R-IV will be closed tomorrow, January 16th, for inclement weather. Stay warm!
Due to the risk of flash freezing this afternoon, Alton R-4 will be dismissing at 12:45. We hope that you and your family stay safe and warm. Please remember that we are not in session on Monday, January 15th in observance of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday.
Alton R-4 will dismiss at 1 PM today due to incoming winter weather. Homecoming ceremonies are also canceled. We will let everyone know as soon as they are rescheduled.
