Where Will
Students Attend School During Construction & Renovation?
Working closely with the
Facilities Project Office, the City School District of Albany has
carefully developed a swing space plan that keeps the disruption of
student learning to a minimum.
During the construction and
renovation of the district's elementary and middle schools, students and
their schools will be housed in the former Philip Schuyler Elementary
School on Western Avenue, with the exception of the former School 18 and
School 19, which will be relocated to the former Montessori School
Building on Park Avenue.

School 18 and School 19
School 18 was relocated to the former
Montessori School Building for the 2005-06 school year and the fall of
2006 while its new building was constructed on Bertha Street.
The majority of School 19 students will attend
school at the former Montessori School Building at 75 Park Avenue under
a revised swing space plan approved by the Board of Education in the
fall of 2006. Students entering kindergarten in 2007-08 will attend
Eagle Point Elementary School at 1044 Western Ave.
School 19 is scheduled to be in swing space from
September 2007 through December 2008 while its new building is
constructed. The following is a timeline of which students will attend
which schools and when:
-
2007-08 school year
-
School 19 students in grades 1-5 will attend
school at the former Montessori Magnet School at 75 Park Avenue. The
building is a former Catholic School that the district leases from
the Catholic Diocese.
-
Students in grade 6 will attend a middle school,
which has been the practice when schools under construction
transition to swing space.
-
Students in Kindergarten that would have attended
School 19 will attend Kindergarten at Eagle Point Elementary School
at 1044 Western Avenue. School 19 Kindergarten classes will be
separate from Eagle Point kindergarten classes in order to keep the
school’s students together.
-
Fall of 2008
-
In order to limit transitions, School 19 students
who attended kindergarten at Eagle Point for the 2007-08 school year
will attend first grade at Eagle Point for the first half of 2008.
-
School 19 students in kindergarten, and grades
2-5 will attend school at the former Montessori School.
-
Students who are in 6th grade will move on to
middle school
-
January 2009:
School 19 will be unified in its brand new building at its original
location on 369 New Scotland Avenue.
*The original facilities plan called
for School 19 and William S. Hackett Middle School to share the Philip
Schuyler Elementary School Building while both schools were under
construction. That original plan would have presented significant space
constraints at Philip Schuyler, so an alternative plan for School 19 had
to be developed.
