First Day of School
Happy First Day of School!
I hope everyone is off to a great start to our 2022-2023 school year. It is great to have so many happy and smiling faces back at school!
Please be patient with our carpool process. We always start out a bit “rusty” but will soon have it down to a quick process. Our morning carpool went better than past years. I started announcements at 8:00 as we are working toward our 7:50 goal. Buses will be working on their exact pick-up and drop-off times as well.
I wanted to let you know that we did have some plumbing issues in the Jr. High restrooms today. As soon as the problem was detected, the restrooms were immediately closed and students were rerouted to other restrooms. A plumber has been called and we are hopeful that this issue will be solved soon.
We are off to such a great start. With our parent welcome, and faculty and staff retreat, I can feel the positive spirit and know this is going to be a great year at St Albert! Thank you to all of our faculty and staff for working so hard in preparation for this day and the year ahead, and thank you to all of our parents for trusting us with your most treasured gifts. We look forward to working closely with you throughout the year.
Happiest 2022-2023 School Year!
