Choir Student Sponsorship Opportunity
Alton Community,
Our Soundwaves Choir Department will be attending an event called "Music in the Parks". The cost of this event is $88. It covers park admission and a food stand voucher. As many of you know, this is a large expense for some families; especially when you have multiple students in a family attending. We want to ensure that every student can attend. We have about 8-10 students who need a "sponsor" to cover the $88 cost. If you feel led to be a sponsor, please comment below or email Mr. Cole Barton (colebarton@alton.k12.mo.us). We appreciate any support you can provide.

Once again, Mrs. Whitten went above and beyond providing Mrs. Holesapple's 3rd grade class with an ice cream sundae/rootbeer float party. Huge thanks to Mrs. Whitten and Fuel Express/Quick Connection.





Big Smiles Dental was scheduled to be here on February 2nd, but that had to be canceled due to us not having school. They will be coming this Friday February 16th to see the students that were already signed up to be seen on the 2nd.

Alton R-4 will be closed today due to incoming snow. Stay warm!

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.

Thank you Jeannette and Dale, for helping our kiddos out at the Christmas Shop and for everything you've done this year for Mrs. Warren's class! We appreciate you!
