Staff and students take pride in keeping the campus clean and safe. Visitors must sign in at the office and wear a visitor badge. Fire, earthquake, and civil defense drills take place on a regular basis. Posted procedures for emergencies are visible. A disaster preparedness plan exists at Alamo School.
Adults supervise the playground at lunch and at all recesses.
Our school adheres to the state-mandated attendance procedures for excused and unexcused absences. Alamo School strives to improve attendance through a timely follow-through on absences by phoning the parents, recording tardies, and notifying parents if there are continuing problems. If it is necessary for a student to be absent more than 3 days for reasons other than illness, parents should contact the teacher one week prior to the absence to arrange for an Independent Study Contract. Our district spends less than the state average because we are a low wealth district as defined by the state s complex funding formula for schools. During the 1998-99 school year, language arts materials for secondary schools will be adopted.
