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!

PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES
PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES
October 1st, 3:00-7:00pm | October 2nd, 1:00-5:00pm
October 1st, 3:00-7:00pm | October 2nd, 1:00-5:00pm
It’s conference time! I cannot believe that October is here. (Well, it will be tomorrow.) It seems like we just walked through the doors for the first time yesterday. I hope that the routine of school has been established in your home and everyone is adjusting. I know that it always took a little bit of time to get back into the swing of things at my house.
I thought I would take time to share with you some of the things I have learned from sitting on both sides of the table, as a parent and as a teacher during conferences.
As a teacher (or counselor):
- We think of the students as our own. We want them to succeed just like we want our own kids to succeed. We love kids and have devoted our career to kids.
- We want to work as a team to make the student the best he/she can be.
- Having to talk to a parent about issues or problems their student is having causes great stress. It is not something that is taken lightly. We spend sleepless nights worrying about our students.
As a parent:
- I have been to conferences where my child is doing great and I have been to conferences where the teacher had to tell me that my child needed extra help.
- My inner mama bear sometimes got in the way of truly listening to what the teacher saw. I wanted to protect my child but really if I had listened to the expert and gotten my child the extra help I might have been able to eliminate future academic struggles he went through.
- I do not have to feel like it is a us vs. them mentality. They really do want my child to be the best he/she can be. Having a team mentality only benefits my child.
Have a great conference and a relaxing break! If you need anything please let me know. I am here for your students and you.

New Slots are now added!
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.
