In the spirit of belonging, we are so grateful to all the students who participated in our first community building day at Cobb's Adventure park. Despite some cold weather and a bit of rain, students had a blast in the petting zoo, climbing wall, maze and sitting around the bonfire. We value these days as an important part of getting to know one another.
It's a busy week at Alti this week!

Mentor Matters
Our students begin and end each day with their mentor. They also gather around activities and ideas in Friday mentor each week. This time together is how our mentors get to know students in order to be their advocate and liason in the school and for students to build relationships. It is important for students to attend. Mentors should have sent home IPPs last week for your review. If you have not seen your child's IPP, please connect with your mentor.
