There will be no school next Monday (May 25) in observance of Memorial Day and Tuesday (May 26) to account for our one unused snow day from this school year. We honor and thank all those who serve, and have served, our country.
If your student-athlete is on the modified track team, Albany High School's Booster Club needs your help! Concession stand sign-ups are open for an upcoming modified track meet at Albany High this Thursday. Even if your child is not on the track team, this is a GREAT way to get involved at Albany High - the booster club supports extracurriculars from music and theater, sports and clubs, art, JROTC and more! Please note that to sign up for a volunteer slot you do have to make an account, but you do not have to become a sponsor.
Save the date! Albany High invites all rising ninth-graders to a Spring Open House on May 28 from 5:30-7 p.m. Register to attend today!
Registration for the City School District of Albany's free Summer Arts Program is open through June 5. Students in grades 3-11 are eligible to sign up for the four-week program (July 6-31) for art, theater, dance, band and orchestra.
