We Need Your Help!
We Need Your Help!
We need your help! We are in need of additional 6:03 Setup Teams!
These families or groups of two or more volunteers work to setup and put away the equipment we utilize during 6:03 Mass (including our 6:03 TV, drum kit, and Hospitality stations). This opportunity for service is a great chance for families with kids in Jr High or High School to become more involved at Mass and to gain service hours.
Contact Emily Bowling at 425-3940 ext. 108 or ebowling@stalbert.org to volunteer and join our 6:03 Setup Team!

Better Together: Home/School Communication
Better Together: Home/School Communication
As educators, we know that communication between school and home is hugely important to a child's success in school. We are trying to keep all parents informed through a variety of communications, such as, Monday Memo, weekly newsletters, emails, Facebook, the online calendar, Tuesday folders, and phone calls.
Of course, conferences with teachers can be held at any time. You don't have to wait for a "conference day" to discuss any concerns. If your child comes home and is upset about something that happened that day at school, please let us know at once. Addressing the situation immediately is the best way to get it resolved right away.
When parents and teachers are on the same team, our children are the winners!

In keeping with tradition, the PTO will provide dinner for our teachers on both evenings of the conferences (Oct. 1st and 2nd) in the teachers lounge. We are looking for volunteers to help provide additional food items to make this a very special event for our teachers.
It is a wonderful way to show our gratitude to the teachers for all their hard work!! In addition it is an easy way to support the PTO if otherwise your schedule hasn't permitted.

New Slots are now added!
We once again need your help to support our St. Albert Vikings. Each family is required to sign up for one slot during the season. This means if your child is playing football, volleyball, flag football, cross country, K-2 soccer, cheerleading or powder puff football you need to work a shift in the St. Albert gym. These volunteer hours greatly reduce the cost of all sports at St. Albert.
If you wish to have a sub work your shift, please refer to either the sub list located on the Sports Ministry link or contact Kelly Logsdon at kelly.lewis.logsdon@gmail.com You will be responsible for paying the sub. If you don't find a sub and do not show up for your shift, your child will have to sit out a game. If you do find a sub and the sub does not show up, your child will not be penalized.
