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.




PHONES
This message is mostly for people working at St. Albans City School over the summer. As you may have heard we have been getting new phones installed throughout the building. The new phones are currently functional and can dial other new phones as well as make outside calls but they will not receive incoming calls. In order to make incoming calls work, we will be doing what's called a "port" of our external phone numbers. This port is scheduled to take place Monday, August 13th in the afternoon around 3pm. 

During this time phone service may be briefly interrupted. We are suggesting people not schedule any important calls around that time.

An email will be sent to employees when the port is complete.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we set up the new phone system!






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.













REPORTS AND PICTURES

GARDENS
It has been a hot and dry summer. The recent rains have perked up our plants and that is a wonderful thing to see. Our fruit trees dropped a lot of fruit during the dry days. Nevertheless, some trees will deliver a good amount of apples for family and consumer science and farm to school activities in September. The Fall vegetable garden has some items (potatoes, brussel sprouts and tomatoes) that are thriving.
