The National Chapter Award honors FFA chapters that excel in the three key areas of their Program of Activities—and Alva has truly stood out! Our chapter was selected as one of the top 10% of Oklahoma FFA chapters to advance and compete at the national level.
Alva FFA has earned the prestigious 3-Star National Chapter designation—the highest level of achievement—and will be recognized during the 98th National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, October 29–November 1.
We’re proud of your hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence!
We’re looking forward to a year filled with learning, growth, and success.
AHS Schedules!
AHS Band Camp
Last week, August 4–8, the AHS Band of Gold wrapped up a successful band camp filled with energy, focus, and teamwork. Students mastered marching fundamentals, built stronger connections through team-building activities, and began learning exciting new music for this year’s halftime show. Their dedication and hard work all week have set the stage for an incredible season ahead!
Because our school day is now starting earlier, Bus #4 (Carmen, OK route) will begin picking up 15 minutes earlier than last year. Pickup will now be around 6:30 AM.
If your child rides a bus from Longfellow or Lincoln to another school, they will need to be ready to board at the school by 7:30 AM.
If your child loads the bus at Washington to go to another school, they need to be ready to board by 7:40 AM.
Thank you for helping us keep everything running smoothly!

Recently, State Superintendent Walters announced that school meals would be paid by school districts for all students. This has not been finalized or approved, nor has any guidance been given to school districts on how to implement this; therefore, at this time, school meals will continue to be charged as they have previously.
FREE AND REDUCED MEAL APPLICATIONS determine how much money our district receives in a variety of areas, so all families are encouraged to complete this application.

AMS & AHS Dress Code Updated Policy!
To support a safe and focused learning environment, students must follow the dress code each day.
Violations:
Students will be required to change or call home for appropriate clothing. Missed class time is unexcused. Repeated violations may result in disciplinary action. All final decisions are made by the principal.
AMS Lunch Guidelines
AMS students have a designated lunch period from 12:06 to 12:39 PM and are expected to eat during that time. Food is not permitted in 5th hour classes, so all lunch must be finished before students return to class.
To maintain a safe, consistent, and healthy school environment, food deliveries from services like DoorDash or GrubHub are not allowed. Additionally, parents and guardians are not permitted to bring or drop off outside food or drinks during school hours. This includes fast food, restaurant takeout, coffee drinks, sodas, and teas.
💢 If a student forgets their lunch, the school will provide a meal. Students also have the option to order ahead, which offers three additional meal choices beyond the daily lunch menu.
💢 Parents are free to pick up/check out their student for lunch off campus
