Tuesday, February 5th. 5:00 to 7:00 PM. Locations: Gymnasiums, Cafeteria, Library Come learn about and experience the history of St. Albans City School 50 years ago. We will have old pictures (and yearbooks), articles and artifacts to view, a half-hour documentary video will be shown about the start of St. Albans City School and there will be many students performing short dramatic vignettes about our school history. In addition, you will be able to visit with the Unified arts teachers in their classrooms to see what students have been doing this school year.
WE WELCOME THE COMMUNITY TO THIS IMPORTANT EVENT

MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR THE HEALTHY HEARTS FAIR
  As a result of the partial federal government shutdown, 3SquaresVT benefits for February will be issued on January 20, 2019.You May Need To Take Immediate Action
New applicants and participants whose benefits are up for recertification this month may need to take immediate action. All interviews must be completed, and all required documentation received, on or before January 15, 2019.
All available resources have been deployed to process 3Squares benefits. We will be contacting as many clients as possible to process outstanding applications and recertifications.
These benefits will be for the entire month of February so you need to budget accordingly.
Finally, schools and sponsors are reminded that any family with a change in income as a result of the shutdown (or any other reason) may apply for free and reduced-price meal benefits<https://education.

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.
