Welcome Back!


This year you will undoubtedly see many changes in the media center due to state budget cuts. The first is a reduction in services. Alvarado, Pioneer and Kitayama Elementary Schools will now share one media specialist, Mrs. Valine. This means each school will have 1/3 the normal services. We hope this is a one-year, temporary situation, and that you will soon see Mrs. Vranjes and Ms. Figdor back at Kitayama and Pioneer!

Mrs. Valine will be at:
- Monday - KIT in the AM, AES in the PM
- Tuesday - AES all day
- Wednesday - PIO all day
- Thursday - KIT all day
- Friday - PIO in the AM, AES in the PM

Stay tuned to learn about the services that will be maintained as we work through this budget crisis.
