EVENTS AND NOTICES

LINK TO PARENT/GUARDIAN LETTER FOR 4TH GRADERSLINK TO PARENT/GUARDIAN LETTER FOR 8TH GRADERS What is NAEP? It is a Common Measure of Student Achievement The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the only assessment that measures what U.S. students know and can do in various subjects across the nation, states, and in some urban districts. Also known as The Nation’s Report Card, NAEP has provided important information about how students are performing academically since 1969.
UNSAFE RAILROAD CROSSINGS SIGHTED IN RECENT WEEKS
Sometimes trains are parked across Elm Street when students want to cross. No matter how long the train sits there, and no matter how tempting it is, don't crawl under the rail cars or over the train car connectors.
Thank you for being patient until the train passes.

YOUTH RISK BEHAVIOR SURVEY (YRBS)
Grades 6-8
Dear Parents/Guardians:
Our school is taking part in the 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) . This was developed in 1991 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and is sponsored by the Vermont Department of Health and Agency of Education. The YRBS gathers information about health risk behaviors of 6th through 12th grade students. Schools, communities, and state agencies will use the results of the survey to evaluate programs, plan new programs and to secure future funding. We are planning to administer the survey to our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students on January 30, 2019 and January 31, 2019. If you would like to see the survey, a copy is available to view in the School Counseling office. If you do not want your child to participate in the survey, please complete the opt out form and return it to Kristen Hersey in the School Counselor’s Office. Copies of the opt out form were mailed home and are also available to download here. LINK TO OPT OUT FORM. Forms must be returned by January 28th, 2019.
8TH GRADERS
BFA PARENTS NIGHT AT ST. ALBANS CITY SCHOOL
Preston Randall, Director of Guidance, will be coming to City School to discuss the transition from 8th to 9th grade- talking a little bit about BFA, giving an overview of the paperwork that students and families are required to fill out (academic and elective course selection), and answering any questions. For students and families who are unable to attend- no fear! We will be handing out and going over paperwork in classes, as well. Everyone will get what they need.
Tuesday, February 12th
6:00 to 7:00 PM. Location: Library |
PICTURES AND REPORTS
TURNIP SOUP TASTE TEST
Taste tests in the cafeteria are an effort to widen food experiences for our students. On Thursday, 1-17-2019, Angus Baldwin, a Jeffersonville root vegetable farmer, came to our cafeteria and handed out small cups of turnip soup samples. One of the Abbey chefs, Jason, had created a delicious soup with Angus' turnips and some cheesy dairy products. Hundreds of students gave the soup samples a try, with most really liking the experience. Thank you to all the brave students and staff who gave the samples a try. We hope to see Angus' produce and this soup become a feature of our winter menus. LINK TO 30 TASTE TEST PICTURES  SACS 50th ANNIVERSARY HISTORY
On July 26, 1968 the newspaper headlines read:
