Viking View

Dear Vikings,

We are thrilled to start the 2022-23 school year. This summer, we have been working as a team to plan for the best year yet. We have been through a lot over the last three school years, and Albright Middle School is dedicated to making improvements for all students. Our students, similar to students across our country, were greatly impacted academically. Even more concerning, however, were the social deficits that were created. We were very excited to get our students back last school year but feel far more prepared to meet their social-emotional needs this year. Albright created a Social-Emotional Learning Committee and opened this up to anyone interested. We had more than half of our staff participate in this professional development and planning throughout this summer. We continue to work with two consultants to support this mission, and Albright is committed to building a positive community for ALL students! We are a small school but are passionate about offering as many, if not more, opportunities for our Vikings as large schools. Albright is a special place because of our small and connected community. We are lucky to have you and your students as part of our Viking team and value open communication with our families.

As we continue to move forward from the pandemic, we encourage good hygiene with regular hand washing and/or the use of hand sanitizer. Mask wearing is optional and a family decision. School safety, as a whole, is our priority, and we ask you to communicate any concerns you have immediately. Albright is dedicated to being proactive and appreciates your partnership. If your child is not feeling well, please keep them home and call us for guidance.

If your child is going to be absent from school, please call the attendance line at: 630-279-6160 ext. 5000, at any time of day and before 7:45 am.
