About Arbor Hill Elementary School
Built in
1973, Arbor Hill Elementary School is located on Arbor
Drive, across the street from Whitney M. Young Jr.
Health Center. A two-year project to renovate the
building was completed in September 2010 and students and families returned to Arbor Hill Elementary School's familiar 1 Arbor Drive
home!
At the new
Arbor Hill Elementary,
students learn in a
modernized facility with new computers in every
classroom, walls and doors surrounding every classroom
(as opposed to the school's former open-classroom
layout), new computer and
science labs, a restored indoor atrium and a new heating and
cooling system.
Anti-bullying efforts at Arbor Hill -- Let's complete
the puzzle together
We invite you to
visit Arbor
Hill Elementary School's anti-bullying website.
Bullying hurts people, and at Arbor
Hill Elementary we continue working toward making our
school a better place.
Our
interactive website for students, parents and
teachers will help everyone in our school community to
understand the painful scars that are caused by bullies
as well as what we all can do to stop it.
Let’s complete the puzzle

Arbor Hill Elementary celebrates
International Walk to School Day and the Safe Kids
Walk This Way initiative --
Austin the police horse,
Otto the auto, Willie the Whistle and a singing
safety educator brought important lessons to the
students at Arbor Hill Elementary School on Oct. 3
to celebrate
International Walk to School Day and the
Safe Kids Walk This Way initiative. The school
partnered with the Albany Police Department, the
Albany County Traffic Safety Education Program,
FedEx and the New York state departments of
Transportation and Motor Vehicles for a morning
assembly to help students learn how to be safe on
the way to and from school each day. The assembly
included two portable traffic crosswalk signals, and
Bill Van Alstyne with the county's Traffic Safety
Education Program and the Capital Region Safe Kids
Coalition led the students in fun songs that
emphasized the message of safety.
