Note From the Principal's Office
May 15, 2012
Happy May! I cannot believe we are in the home stretch of the school
year. The school year may be coming to a close but there is still a lot of
learning happening at North Albany. Teachers are maintaining high standards
of expectation in their classrooms and they are challenging students to
prepare them for the next grade level. Our fourth and eighth graders are
preparing for the NYS Science Exams and we have select eighth graders
preparing to take the NYS Regents Exams in Living Environment and Algebra.
I would like to commend our students on working so hard during their New
York State Assessments. We had 100% of our students take the exams! All the
teachers reported that the students utilized the strategies they were taught
and they took their time to answer the questions. I am so proud of them
trying their best.
May and June can be very busy months. Each classroom has many activities
planned. Please make sure you are looking in your child’s communication
folder to not miss any classroom events. Below is a list of some activities
happening at North Albany:
June 14th – Prekindergarten picnic and awards, 11:00 a.m.
