A Few Reminders for Our Spartan Families:
Parent-Teacher Conferences are tonight and tomorrow morning. We look forward to connecting with our families! There is no school tomorrow (Friday, October 23) due to conferences.
Mark your calendars! Our annual Parade of Costumes is next Friday, October 30! Please see the attached flyer for more details.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support! Have a great weekend, Spartans!
Please take a few minutes to review the October newsletter if you have not already received it.
This is a reminder that tomorrow is day 2 of our spirit week focused on kindness! Students are welcome to dress like a friend OR join in our building-wide spirit by wearing Spartan colors or gear!
We were proud to represent Alexander Elementary at the Albany Fall Festival Parade! We love being part of such a wonderful community and are grateful for opportunities to come together and show our Spartan pride!
A special thank-you to Mr. Hutchison for allowing us to ride along in his horse-drawn wagon!
At Alexander Elementary, we encourage our Spartans to Live R.E.D. by showing Respect, Empathy, and Determination every day. Next week, students are invited to participate in a special spirit week focused on the importance of kindness, standing up for others, and making sure everyone feels safe, valued, and included.
You may receive an email sometime in the next week from SameGoal asking you to review your child’s Reading Improvement and Monitoring Plan (RIMP). If you receive this, your child qualifies for additional reading support based on their beginning-of-the-year reading diagnostic data. The RIMP helps us outline how we will monitor and support their continued growth. There is no need to be concerned. This is simply a way for us to work together to provide your child with the support they need to be successful.
If you receive the email, please take a few minutes to review the plan and electronically sign it. If you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s teacher.

Please take a few minutes to review our September newsletter!
As the school year is getting started, please review the safety guidelines in place for pick-up and drop-off so we can keep everyone safe and make the process as efficient as possible.
Good afternoon, Alexander families!
As you can tell from the photo, we are all very excited to see you tomorrow morning! Since the first day of school is always one of the busiest days of the year, please be patient with us as we kick off the new school year. Bus Riders: Please be ready at your bus stop 5-10 minutes earlier than your scheduled pick-up time. Car Riders: Please give yourselves extra time for drop-off and pick-up. Traffic will be very heavy, and student safety is our top priority. See you in the morning!
We are so excited to welcome our students back next week! We hope to see everyone at Open House on Monday from 5:00–7:00 p.m.
