ParentSquare

This is the school wide communication platform that serves as our online forum as well as critical tool for staff, teachers & parents to communicate updates.If you are an Alvarado parent but have not signed up for our electronic directory and communication system, please send an email with your full name, your child’s full name and teacher’s name to communications@alvaradoschool.net, and we’ll get you set up. Cell phone numbers also work.

Room Parents
Within the first month of school, each classroom will have a room parent who will coordinate snacks and tasks. If you are interested in volunteering for this job, please contact our room parent coordinators at room_parent_coordinator@alvaradoschool.net.

Buddy Families

For any incoming families that wish to be connected to an existing Alvarado Buddy Family, please contact us at outreach@alvaradoschool.net.

Mornings
Please remember that school starts promptly at 7:50 a.m. Give yourself enough time to find parking if you plan to join your child on the yard before school begins.

Drop Off
If you are dropping off your child, please do so in the white zone along 22nd Street. Do NOT double park or drop your child off in front of school. It causes huge traffic problems, and the police will be looking for violations.

Today’s Donations Benefit Next Year’s Kids

In addition to volunteering, there are many ways to give to Alvarado. Amazon, eBay, Target and eScrip all donate a percentage of your purchase to our school. Some require you to sign up (Target, eScrip), others require you to click a certain link that lets the site know you are associated with Alvarado (Amazon, eBay).

Please visit our Giving page to read about the many ways you can contribute to the school.

Equally important, volunteering your time is a huge help to the teachers, the PTA and the students. Please click our Volunteering page to learn more about our committees and how to contact them.
