Dear Alvord Unified School District Community,     

Welcome to a new school year! Whether you’re a returning family or new to Alvord, we are thrilled to have you with us. As your new Superintendent, I’m honored to join this incredible community, and I’m excited to get to work alongside you.

At Alvord, our mission is to strengthen our community by providing safe and nurturing schools that educate and celebrate the entire child. We are dedicated to meeting our students’ academic, social, and emotional needs, preparing them for college, career, and a lifetime of personal growth.

Our vision is to create safe learning environments where every student can discover their own version of success. Guided by our core values—including caring, inclusion, accountability, innovation, and teamwork—we are committed to making every student feel seen, supported, and empowered.

This year, we look forward to partnering with you to ensure every child thrives. Together, we will continue to build a strong, connected, and successful Alvord community.

Here’s to an amazing year ahead!

Warm regards,

Dr. Reginald (Reggie) Thompkins
Proud Superintendent
Alvord Unified School District
