Scottsville's Tuesday Tiger Times

We are working on flexible thinking with our students - adapting to unexpected changes - and we have the opportunity to live that teaching this week.

Thank you all for your flexibility and patience as we navigated this week’s snow and the unexpected schedule changes it brought. We are currently working to reschedule several events and will share updated dates and details with you as soon as everything is finalized.

We appreciate your partnership and understanding!

Listen to a third grader's perspective of a visit - last week before the snow!

Look at photos from last week - before the snow.

Please see the attached flyer about an upcoming coat drive.

The nomination window for the 2025-2026 Golden Apple Awards is open until January 26, 2026! Anyone can nominate a teacher for a Golden Apple: students, families, community members, or other educators.

Details are on the Golden Apple webpage: https://www.k12albemarle.org/our-division/golden-apple-awards
