Important December Updates for the Alpha Academy Family
Greetings Alpha Academy Family,
As we move into a busy and exciting season, we want to ensure all families stay informed about several important updates, safety reminders, donation efforts, and upcoming student events. Please take a moment to read the following information in full.
Bus Safety Update: Student ID Badges Required
Beginning December 1st, all students who ride the bus must present their student ID badge before boarding both in the morning and after school.
This requirement is part of our ongoing commitment to student safety and accurate transportation compliance.
-
Students without their school ID will not be allowed to ride the bus.
-
Parents will be responsible for transportation if an ID is forgotten or lost.
-
ID badges are also used throughout the school year for lunches, field trips, student discounts, and other school activities.
If your child has lost their ID badge, a replacement can be purchased for $5.00. Please contact your child’s teacher for instructions on how to request a new one.
