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.
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
NAVIGATORS Ms. Adams' students learned about Japanese culture and dress on Friday 1-25-2019 from para-educator, Rie Asato-Ditch. Here are pictures of some of the students dressed up in Japanese attire. LINK TO 19 PICTURES. HERE ARE SOME MORE HISTORICAL PHOTOS Thanks to Ms. Wight for finding all this cool information about St. Albans City School.
Furnished and almost ready for use are the desks in one of the science
labs at the St. Albans City Elementary School.
At Church Street School, the only lab desk was the demonstrator’s
desk used by the teacher.
ALMOST READY - This classroom on the second floor of section
A is nearly complete and ready for the introduction of chairs, desks and other equipment. Supt. of schools Sidney Dewey hopes to start moving into this section next week.
HOME EC - These tables and desks make up the cooking and sewing sections
of the home economics room which is much larger and better equipped than the combination home economics-teachers-health room that students used at Church Street School.
This is Mrs. Lamb’s room!
