Congratulations to Treyton Terrill, he scored a 27 on the SCIENCE portion of his ACT!! The ACT is scored on a scale of 1–36. The national average ACT score is currently 21. Scoring above average opens the door for scholarships, potential college acceptances and academic recommendations. Keep working hard, AHS is proud of you!!
This is Eric Allen. At this time, 9:00pm on November 12, 2018, Alton R-IV will be in session on November 13. The Springfield TV stations rolled today's early dismissal into being closed on November 13 which is not fact at this time (and has since been corrected). A weather check will be made early in the morning and any updates provided, if warranted. Again, as of now school is in session at Alton R-IV November 13, 2018.
The calling company was able to fix the issue with our calling system. If there are further issues in the future, please do not hesitate to let us know. We appreciate your understanding and patience.
We have had a few instances of people not receiving the call or text that went out about dismissal. We apologize for any issue with this situation. We are currently checking with the company to determine what happened, as we show that those who have notified us should have received the calls. As there is a potential for further precipitation, please also listen to radio and television for any further cancellations.
This is Eric Allen, Superintendent at Alton R-4. School will dismiss at 2:00pm on Monday, November 12, 2018. The Blue and Gold Scrimmage for tonight is postponed to a future date.
Six new scholarships listed today. If you are a descendant of a veteran (child, grandchild, great-grandchild, etc), check out the different criteria for each of the six.
