We are an inclusive learning community with a tradition of inspiring, supporting, and collaborating with students
as they prepare to be engaged citizens in their pursuit of continuous success.
Positive Behavior Interventions & Celebrations: We thank students and teachers for their participation in our Parent Teacher Conferences this past week. We realize that this new format for conferences has been a benefit for many patrons, but we also would like your feedback on how to improve the experience. Thank you, also, for your donations on behalf of our PTSA for the meal and donation of treats for Tuesday’s dinner. We loved all the delicious items you baked and bought!
Junior ACT: Tuesday, March 8th: The Utah State ACT will be administered to all Alta juniors on Tuesday, March 8, 2022. No regular classes will be scheduled for this date. Only juniors should arrive at school at 7:15 a.m. this day; all other students are welcome to arrive and enjoy lunch at 11:50 a.m. and/or consult with their teachers from 12:50-2:25 p.m. as needed.

Good luck!
PTSA Hawk Hero is Back! We would like to find more ways to recognize the positive behavior of our students at Alta. One way to do so is via our monthly Hawk Hero program sponsored by our PTSA whose aim is to recognize two students from each class every month. Any member of the school, including teachers, staff members, and even students may nominate a student. See the flyer below for additional information. We hope to gather nominations for winners in April!

Yearbook Orders: It’s time to reserve your copy of the school yearbook if you haven’t already done so. Book price increases March 1, 2022 to $60 and extra books will be $60 on yearbook day. To order a yearbook, you may do one of the following. Bring in or mail a check for $60 to the school’s Main Office or purchase a book through Skyward. To purchase through Skyward: Go to fee management / make payment / optional fees. Click on yearbook. You also may go online to https://jostensyearbooks.com/?REF=A08724530 to order your book. The first two options cost less because you don’t have to pay a processing fee. Please note, we will order a few extra books for sale in May, but they go fast. NOW is the time to order your yearbook.
