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.

 

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 270 students in prekindergarten through 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.

2009-10 news

  • The Little Book House in Stuyvesant Plaza showcased Eagle Point Elementary School artists in an October window display of eclectic sculpture: Halloween, Victorian architecture and … pizza? Art teacher Debbie Cronin pulled it all together in "Haunted Pizza." The exhibit incorporated the well-known theme of Halloween with two lesser-known subjects: Pizza Month, which is October, and artist Edward Hopper's renditions of ornately designed homes that often look haunted. “Haunted Pizza” is the Little Book House's fifth window display of artwork by City School District of Albany students in as many years. The display ran throughout October, and if you missed it at the Little Book House you can check it out in the district's Photo Gallery.
