Chromebook Information: If your child is in grades 6-12, they have the opportunity to purchase insurance for their Chromebook. The $20 insurance policy would cover the cost of replacement/repair for incidental damage that was not intentional in nature. If students chose not to purchase the insurance, the cost of replacing a Chromebook is $200, screen repair-$60, lost charger $35 (or replace independently). If you chose to purchase, it must be purchased in advance of any damage. Checks can be made out to Alex Public Schools and turned in to the high school library. Students have until September 8th to purchase insurance for the 2023-24 school year.

After consulting with local law enforcement about the safety of our walkers, we ask that students use a designated crossing spot on Main Street. We ask that students that have to cross main street on their walk home, cross at the corner of F street and Main. When available, a town officer will monitor the crosswalk, and volunteers will help as well. The district will be in ongoing conversations with ODOT about the possibility of improving the safety of our walkers.

Parents and Guardians of Elementary Students,
Beginning Monday, August 28, 2023, our 1st and 2nd grade students will begin having breakfast in the lunchroom instead of going to their classrooms in the mornings.
If you would like for your 1st or 2nd grader to eat breakfast before school they need to be dropped off at the same location they have been between 7:30 and 7:55 and they will go to the commons area to eat.
The breakfast routine for PK, KG is the same as it has been, which is to come from the drop off line to the elementary building and they will continue to eat in their classrooms.
3rd, 4th, and 5th grade breakfast is unchanged as well.
Thank you for your flexibility and patience as we continue to work through our beginning of year
