The Eagle Point Elementary School Mission Statement:

Our mission at Eagle Point Elementary is to provide a safe and nurturing environment, prekindergarten through grade 6, that develops and promotes a diverse community of confident, life-long learners.

 

Eagle Point Elementary to keep sixth grade in 2009-10

Eagle Point Elementary School is one of three additional elementary schools that will keep sixth grade in 2009-10 as the City School District of Albany transitions to a new middle school alignment.

 

Arbor Hill Elementary School and Pine Hills Elementary School also will keep their sixth grades next year, joining Albany School of Humanities (ASH) and Giffen Memorial Elementary School in serving students from prekindergarten through grade 6. Students in fifth grade this year at the district's other seven elementary schools will attend middle school in 2009-10 under the new middle school feeder plan.

 

Please contact the Eagle Point Elementary office at 475-6825 if you have any questions or would like additional information.

 

About Eagle Point Elementary School
As part of the City School District of Albany's comprehensive facilities project, School 27 was renovated in 2005 and rechristened Eagle Point Elementary School, in recognition of its location near the highest point in the City of Albany, when it reopened in January 2006.

 

Eagle Point serves approximately 220 students in prekindergarten through grade 5, and will add grade 6 for the 2009-10 school year. Eagle Point's small size allows teachers and administrators to create a cozy environment in which programs can be individualized to meet students' specific needs.

 

The school has partnerships with the University at Albany, The College of St. Rose and the Hebrew Academy in Albany.
