MEALS PAPERWORK

In your family information packet, there will be a form to apply for free and reduced meals. Even though our school receives funding for free meals for everyone, it is still important that we continue to show that our school qualifies for that resource. Your submitted application would be a big help to St. Albans City School and our entire school community.   Thank you.

REPORTS AND PICTURES


A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE
Twenty two Students from St. Albans City School, St. Albans Town School and Fairfield School met the two days prior the start of school. These student’s goal is to help their schools promote diversity and improve intergroup relations. They also want to help fellow students address racism, bias, and bullying.  It was a great workshop - enjoyed by all.
