Parents can help ensure smartwatches are set to not allow notifications from other apps by placing the device in a mode that does more than silence it. You can find steps on how to set up Schooltime mode here. Android users can find parental controls by following these steps.

St Baldrick’s Event at Salon 360

May 17, 2024

details to follow soon

Albion is closed to vehicular traffic before and after school. The "Road Closed" barricade is out for the safety of students. Police will be working with us to help enforce this law.

Please double-check to ensure students come to school with all the materials they need for the school day. For example, Chromebook, winter gear, water bottle, band instrument, lunch, etc... Lately, we noticed that parents have to make a separate trip to drop off these items at the school office. We appreciate your partnership.

April 9th the Lost & Found will be located outside Door 5. Please stop by at arrival or dismissal to check for your student(s) missing item(s). If your student lost an Apple Watch, please let the office know the details of the watch so we can return it to you.

Students may have healthy snacks during the day in the classroom. Please be mindful of nut allergies when packing snacks.

Please refrain from entering the staff parking lot during school hours. This lot is for staff only. There has been an influx of parents parking, dropping off students and turning around in the lot which creates unsafe situations for students and staff. Please help students and staff be safe by abiding by all signs around campus.

· Park legally – don’t block crosswalks or double park

· Respect school neighbors –please do not park in or block their driveways.

· Parents and children should not use the Staff parking lot

· Do not make U-turns or turn around in driveways.

· “Attended” parkers must stay in their vehicles at all times.

· Obey “kiss ’n go” zones on Prospect Avenue

Please keep dogs on a leash and on the sidewalk during drop off and dismissal times.

If your student/students need to change their regular daily routine please take the following steps:

1. Email the homeroom teacher with the details

2. Email the office Mrs Flint sflint@d64.org or Mrs Ellsworth kellsworth@d64.org

no need to send separate emails

If students report to school tardy, they must check in at school door # 5 (office) with an adult. If procedures are not followed, students will be marked unexcused.
