Our Mission

The Alton School District accepts the responsibility that students will perform at a high level of academic achievement by mastering the district curriculum. Analysis of assessment data will determine the level of mastery. Research-based interventions, delivered by highly-qualified staff, will promote academic success.

Serving Up Good Manners

Students in Val Doucleff's fifth grade class at West Elementary enjoyed a pizza luncheon with their parents to celebrate the end of the school year.

Doucleff and Co-Teacher, Teena Funk, hosted the event and students served their parents while displaying outstanding manners. The last day of school for students in the Alton School District is May 28.

Put Your Best Foot Forward!

Eunice Smith was recently rewarded for their recycling efforts at the Madison County Earth Day Celebration. Eunice Smith Teacher and Recycling Coordinator, Lisa Stubits, shared that the school received 2nd place out of all Madison County schools in collecting 1,326 pairs of old shoes. Shoes are then donated to the Shoeman Water Project which provides drinking water for people in impoverished countries. Andrew Burnside's fifth grade class at the school collected an astonishing 628 pairs which included soliciting donations of blemished shoes from area shoe stores. The school also collected tab tops this year to benefit the Ronald McDonald House. Great job!
