RECESS WEATHER
Wind chill temperatures will make outside recess undesirable. Stay inside unless you are properly dressed for winter. There are still icy conditions at the bottom of the sledding hill and that means the snow tubes will not be out for use. :(

EVENTS AND NOTICES
IMPORTANT BUSSING INFORMATION - for families
As we continue to navigate with busing and keeping schedules for SACS and SATEC, we want to remind all families of a few logistics. It is very important for students to be waiting and prepared at the bus stops. It is very difficult for the drivers to wait for students to exit their houses. We are not permitted to hold traffic for an extended time and we must be prepared for our second runs.
Please have your students at the bus stops prior to the bus arriving. Due to time restraints, the bus will leave when the last student at the stop boards. This may mean that any student not at the stop will miss the bus.
Thank you for your understanding.
UNIFIED ARTS NIGHT
 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
 
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.
FAMILIES OF 4TH AND 8TH GRADERS
On February 8th, 4th and 8th grades will take the NAEP assessment. The links below will take you to letters that explain the expectations for that measurement.
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.
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
CAFETERIA REPORT All teams are responsible for cleaning up after students and staff at the end of their breakfast visits to the cafeteria. For some teams, this is not happening satisfactorily. We ask that you leave the cafeteria in great shape for the people that come to the cafeteria later. Secondarily, please discuss contamination of the compost in the cafeteria. Staff are finding, forks, spoons, cartons, wrappers, napkins, plastic containers. This is a huge problem that Hudak's composting operation has to deal with. We have been successful at keeping our compost contaminant free in the past. Let's try to do it again full time. Here is a sample photo from Hudak's of the silverware coming out of our compost.  Thank you. LIST OF TEACHERS AND STAFF IN 1970
We are wondering if any current teachers, staff, or students are related to the first group of teachers at St. Albans City Elementary School?
We know of one kinship and it is on the list!
If you have a relative on this list, let Ms. Wight know and we will feature you both in the announcements.
