✔February Digital Citizenship Message – Helping Your Kids Deal with Digital Drama
Most kids will encounter mean behavior at some point in their digital lives. To some kids, this experience is a blip that’s easily forgotten, while for others it can have deep, long-lasting effects. For parents, the key is staying involved in kids’ lives — both online and off — so they can step in and offer help if necessary. With guidance from parents and educators, kids can learn how to dodge the drama and stand up for others.  Visit Common Sense Media to learn more about these quick tips.

✔PTSA Parent Teacher Conference Support
Alta’s Parent Teacher Conferences will be held Monday and Tuesday, Feb 23rd and 24th. The PTSA will provide a meal for the teachers on Monday afternoon, Feb 23rd. We are asking for soup, drink and dessert donations from our Alta Community. We also need three volunteers to help set up and three volunteers to clean up after. If you can help in any way, please sign up below on the sign up genius. Please bring all donations to Alta‘s main office before 1pm on Monday, Feb 23rd. Dishes may be picked up after 4:00pm that afternoon. Thank you so much for your help!
