CALENDAR FOR THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR



EVENTS AND NOTICES


SUMMER SCHOOL IS OVER
Staff members are now working on all the beginning of the school year planning and paperwork that keeps St. Albans City School going.  We are looking forward to seeing everyone back at school in late August.  Note the important dates and the calendar above.




REACHING ST. ALBANS CITY SCHOOL BY PHONE
Over the next two weeks, our school will be installing a new phone system. This change is welcome since our old system is beginning to fail. For example, right now we have no voicemail system so if you want to reach us with a question or information you will need to do so during working hours - 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM Monday-Friday. We appreciate your patience as we upgrade our infrastructure.







DO YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO WALK OR BIKE SAFELY TO AND FROM THE WALMART / HANNAFORD / PRICE CHOPPER SHOPPING DISTRICT?

Consider attending a public meeting on Tuesday, August 14th. You can hear what is being proposed and can voice your interests and concerns.  Please note the meeting is in the TOWN HALL, not the City Hall.

PHONES
The Maple Run School District is upgrading its phone system to improve communication within and between our schools. Over the summer re-wiring of all the MRUSD buildings have taken place using fiber-optic cables. On Thursday 8-9-2018, the actual phone units arrived at St. Albans City School Building for installation. The changeover can't come fast enough as we are experiencing some challenges with our old phone system.
