Dear St. Albans City School Families: 

On Tuesday, September 17th at 11:30am in the gymnasium, our 7th and 8th-grade students will have the opportunity to hear John Halligan, international speaker and author, address the impact of bullying and harassment in schools. His presentation connects with the work of our teachers and school counselors to support the social and emotional health and wellbeing of our students.

IMPORTANT BUS INFORMATION

Children are assigned to one route and one-stop only (unless already approved by the administration for daycare situations). For the safety of your children, bus passes will not be given unless for an emergency and at the discretion of the administration. Please make alternate arrangements other than changing a bus. The process for changing any dismissal plans for your children is challenging and difficult and we want to be sure your child gets where they need to go.


Please go over these rules with your children: LINK TO RULES








BOX TOPS
We are collecting paper box tops for education and submitting them the last week of October.  We will do one final paper submission in the spring. Paper box tops are going away and will now be digital. To participate please download the app.  Please turn in any collected box tops to Ms. Vaillancourt @ the front desk. 








SPECIAL NEEDS HOCKEY PROGRAM
The St. Albans Skating Association is proud to support the 2nd year of its Special Needs Hockey Program.  All sessions are held at the Collins Perley Sports Center!  Registration is currently underway.  It is free to try and there are scholarships to cover all costs if need be.

Information can be found at https://www.facebook.com/SASA-Special-Hockey-230532937768334/
