The following message is from Albany High School Principal Jodi Commerford. It also was mailed as a letter to families on Sept. 19.
Dear Families:
Albany High School’s Open House will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 27. The event starts with a welcome and introduction in the new auditorium and proceeds to teacher presentations in your student’s classroom. In addition to meeting your student’s teachers, you will have the opportunity to experience a shortened version of their school day.
Here is information about how to navigate the event.
Welcome – 5:30-5:45 p.m.
I will briefly welcome families and explain how the open house will work.
Meet the teachers – 5:50-8 p.m.
You will follow your student’s schedule to meet teachers. You can access your student’s schedule online through the schooltool parent portal at albanyschools.org/schooltool. Printed schedules will also be available.
