A Message from the Principal, Dr. Butts

August 1, 2026

Dear Bluebird Families,

Welcome to August! The beginning of the 2026–2027 school year is almost here, and our staff is excited to welcome our students back to Alvaton Elementary.

Our theme this year is:

Game On: Level Up for Learning, Leadership, & Success!

At Alvaton Elementary, we believe that Every Child Succeeds. We are committed to ensuring that every Bluebird is known, valued, supported, challenged, and encouraged to grow as a learner and leader.

Please review these important back-to-school reminders:

Bluebird Beginnings: Kindergarten Night

Tuesday, August 4 | 5:30–7:30 PM

Incoming kindergarten students and their families are invited to meet their teacher, visit classrooms, tour the school, ride a bus, pick up a car rider tag, complete paperwork, drop off supplies, purchase spirit wear, and enjoy a snack or treat.

Open House: Pre-K–6th Grade

Thursday, August 6 | 6:00–8:00 PM

Families may visit at any time during Open House to meet teachers, visit classrooms, bring supplies, complete paperwork, and prepare for the school year.

Families of students in first through sixth grade will receive homeroom assignments approximately one hour before Open House through the contact information listed in Infinite Campus. Preschool teacher assignments will be emailed on August 10.

First Day of School is Wednesday, August 12

• Doors open at 8:00 AM
• Instruction begins at 8:30 AM
• Dismissal begins at 3:30 PM

The first day of PRESCHOOL is Monday, August 17.

Parents and guardians may walk students to class on the first day. All visitors must check in through the RAPTOR visitor system and provide a driver’s license. Families are encouraged to have their license scanned during Kindergarten Night or Open House.

Attendance Matters: Every Day Counts. Every Minute Counts.

Regular and punctual attendance is essential to student success. Kentucky defines chronic absenteeism as missing 10% or more of the school year for any reason.

Students may use up to five parent-note days and seven doctor or medical-provider notes during the school year. After seven provider notes, additional medical documentation may be required.

Please help by ensuring your child attends school each day, arrives before instruction begins, and has appointments scheduled outside school hours whenever possible.

Important Reminders

Please complete online registration, update your contact and transportation information in Infinite Campus, and submit any missing enrollment or health documents before school begins.

School supply lists, forms, bus information, the WCPS Student Handbook, and additional updates are available in the Bluebird Buzz:

Together, let's make the 2026–2027 school year our best one yet!

Great Things Today...Greater Things Tomorrow!

Respectfully, 

Dr. Pauletha Butts
