The following is an important safety message from Eagle Point Elementary Principal Jared Fox:

I wanted to let you know that an unidentified person entered our building Monday morning through an unsecured door on the Russell Road side of our school. 

I noticed this person immediately and escorted him out, without incident.  This person indicated that he mistook our building for another municipal building he was looking for, and he did not exhibit any concerning behavior during his very brief time in the building. He immediately left the property as I instructed after I escorted him outside.

We notified the City School District of Albany Maintenance and Operations Department about this unsecured door immediately and the door’s locking mechanism was repaired Monday afternoon.

Please contact me at school anytime if you have any additional questions or concerns You can reach me at (518) 475-6825 or jfox1@albany.k12.ny.us.
