Bomb Threat Drill
Our drill for the month of November will be a bomb threat. This drill is to ensure we are prepared any time a student, employee, patron or emergency responder reports a suspected incendiary device on or near a school campus, the threat will be taken seriously should this happen. Depending on the situation, a bomb threat could either be an evacuation of the school building or sheltering in the school building response. For the bomb threat drill for this month we will be evacuating.
Choose Kindness
We are on the lookout for any acts of kindness at Altara. Here are some examples of kindness happening at our school these past few weeks.
We have outstanding students at our school!
Sydney Sorenson (2nd grade) Sydney gave a classmate one of her erasers because he lost his and was sad. Way to go, Sydney!
Kaidan Patrick (5th grade) Kaidan encouraged his classmate before a presentation by saying, “You’ve got this, Asher!”
Noah Briggs (3rd grade) Noah was very kind to a classmate, helping her get ready for class in the morning. Thank you, Noah!
Cole Raymond (3rd grade) Cole was kind & very helpful taking many chairs down & getting desks ready to start the morning. Thanks, Cole!
