🌟Today, we want to take a moment to recognize and appreciate our amazing school nurses, Leslie Weyland and Casey Warren! 🌟
From treating scraped knees to managing health conditions, administering medications, and providing support, school nurses give care and compassion every day. They are the first line of defense when it comes to student health and play a vital role in creating a safe school environment.
Thank you, Nurse Leslie and Nurse Casey, for your dedication, expertise, and kindness. We are grateful for your hard work and commitment to keeping us all healthy and thriving. 💙

Alton R-IV School District would like to take this time to honor our teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week!
From the first day of school to the last, our teachers are there to guide our students to success! They do more than teach from a textbook. They guide, encourage, motivate and inspire students to be better every day. Thank you teachers! Your work doesn't go unnoticed!
