IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! Class placements have changed for some students. First grade has broken the 180 student mark and we are rearranging some placements due to this large number. Thanks to Ms. Sarah Rogers' willingness to address the need, she is moving to First Grade. This means that we will have nine Kindergarten rooms, nine First grade rooms, and seven Second grade rooms. The second grade class she left has been adsorbed by the other second grade teachers. A new first grade class has been formed by absorbing students from other first grade rooms. We are excited about this change and believe that it is the best decision for our growing number of students. Thank you. Shawn Cart

Dear Parents,
We've had several calls about the activity at Alma Spikes this morning. I want to relieve any concerns parents may be having. A false alarm did go off this morning with one of our alert response buttons. I would first like to thank the Pocahontas Police Department for their immediate response and support. They were wonderful. I have been in contact with the security company and they are reviewing the system for any needed repairs or updates. Thank you for your concerns and for addressing those directly; that is always the fastest way to clarify a situation.
There will be NO after school tutoring at Alma Spikes on Valentine's Day, February 14th.
Alma Spikes tutoring has been cancelled for this afternoon (2/06) due to the threat of winter weather.
Please be advised that Alma Spikes will have NO after school tutoring on Monday (01/29) or Tuesday (01/30). All tutoring will resume as scheduled on Wednesday (01/31).
Don't Forget!!!! Alma Spikes monthly PTO meeting is tonight (1/23) at 5:30 in the gym. The following classes will be doing a musical performance: Todd, Tyler, Baker and Emmons. Refreshments will be served and door prizes will be awarded. Due to limited seating, please bring your lawn chair!
