Thanks to all who participated in Mismatch Day today. We had more eLearners by far and are not sure if they intentionally participated, but they were up for the photo anyway. :) Tomorrow is another great one, pajama day! Will the hybrid students catch up to our eLearners?!

Dear Viking Families, Please remember that students must bring their chromebook daily to school. A good way to remember it is to have them plug it in every night close to their backpacks and supplies. Our LMC has limited amounts of extra chrombook's to lend out daily. Thank you!!

Viking Families, Please go into your Skyward account to electronically sign off that you received the Student Handbooks. Here are instructions: https://5il.co/lml2 Thank you!

Today was AMS’s first day of in person for all hybrid learners. It was amazing to be back. Our eLearners also started a new schedule and did very well adjusting. It is great to get our final schedule rolling. Great work everyone!

Just a reminder that meal pick up is tomorrow, Tuesday, September 29th from 1:00 to 1:30 pm at the District Office (Door #2) on Villa Avenue. Please wear a mask when you pick up your meals. We are a part of the Summer Food Service Program, so any student can have free combo meals! If your child is in attendance for hybrid learning, they will be able to grab a combo meal daily at their dismissal time.

Happy 1st Day of In-Person Learning for our Hybrid 5th Graders! Welcome to Albright Middle School!!! We can't wait to see the rest of our in-person learners on Monday, 9/28.

5th Grade Parents, If for some reason you have not received the schedule in the mail today, and you are a bus rider, please call us at 630-279-6160 before 3pm to find out your bus stop information if you will be using it on Monday. If not, you will get that included in the schedule. The schedules themselves are far less important as kids are not traveling between classes. All we need is for our AM Hybrid students to arrive between 7:30am and 7:40am and our PM Hybrid students to arrive between 11:45am and 11:55am. We will get them to their classroom with no problem. School is from 7:45am - 2:30pm for everyone and our Hybrid students will have their matrices posted by the end of the day on our website. Our eLearners will be starting at 7:45am on Monday with a Morning Meeting with Mrs. Vargas and have been emailed the link they need. The eLearning schedule and matrix will be posted on our website as well. I sent an email this morning with a video explaining everything, so please watch that when you can. See you Monday! Ms. Aulisa

We are so excited to get our students back in our buildings. 5th Graders will start a new schedule on Monday, 9/21. We are mailing this information out today, including bus routes. Our 6-8th Grade students will be starting on 9/28 and those schedules will go out soon. We will be sharing a video about our safety procedures and routines this week for you to share with your Albright child(ren). As we finalize all of these details we will be communicating regularly and appreciate your partnership. Go Vikings.

Please note a change in our meal pick up time! Meal pick up is tomorrow, Tuesday, September 15th from 1:00 to 1:30 pm at the District Office (Door #2) on Villa Avenue. Please wear a mask when you pick up your meals. Just a reminder that we are part of the Summer Food Service Program. This means that any student can have free combo meals.

If childcare during Hybrid Learning is a concern, please check out the LEAP Program from the OBT Park District. It is a great option for families and is open to Kinder - 8th grade students.

Parents, just a reminder, if your preference for eLearning or hybrid model has changed from your initial feedback, please contact your child’s school office by tomorrow, Wednesday, September 9th. If no change is needed, you do not need to contact the office. Thank you!

Did you know our school libraries are open for business? Use our online library catalog available through https://www.saltcreek48.org/page/lmc and our staff will prepare books for you to pick up, contactless, at the front of your child's school. Vikings love reading!

Every child in our school district is eligible for the free combo breakfast/lunch meals as long as they are 18 or under. We will provide combo breakfast/lunch grab and go meals every Tuesday in front of the District 48 Administrative Offices door at Albright Middle School for students on remote eLearning between 10:00 AM and 10:45 AM. Our program begins this Tuesday, September 8, 2020.
