About Our School

Altura Elementary School is a community of unique and diverse learners working together to achieve academic success for all. The staff believes that quality assessment, high expectations, planning, and teaching result in understanding and achievement of standards in all content areas: reading, writing, math, science and social studies. Altura also provides physical education, music and art classes to enhance student learning and development.

The highly qualified staff participates in on-going professional development to ensure that the students at Altura receive high quality instruction in an environment that is safe, nurturing, and purposeful. Literacy support teachers, special education staff, and English Language Acquisition staff assure that all students are given the opportunity to succeed.

Parents are an important part of our school. A family/community liaison plans and facilitates many opportunities for family involvement. The school has an active Parent Teacher Organization, adult classes in English Language Acquisition and computer applications, a Family Math Night, a Family Literacy Night, and welcomes parent volunteers. Family celebrations are held at the beginning and end of the school year and are a popular time for parents, staff, and students to play games, eat, and get to know each other.

The purpose of the Altura community is for each adult and child to reach for and achieve their personal best by doing whatever it takes.

Altura is a great place!

Remembering Natalie Streeter

Before the start of school, one of our dear friends passed away. Natalie was very loved here at Altura and she will be greatly missed. We shall always remember her positive attitude and smiling face. The burden is upon us to honor her memory in everything we do. Natalie
