NO SCHOOL: Thanksgiving Recess
The City School District of Albany's three middle schools will dismiss early on Wednesday, Jan. 16 so that staff may attend professional development training.
Students at Edmund J. O'Neal Middle School of Excellence, Stephen and Harriet Myers Middle School and William S. Hackett Middle School will dismiss at 1:30 p.m. CDTA buses will be available to transport students home at that time, and all after-school activities will be canceled. Families should make arrangements so that students can enter their homes earlier than usual on Jan. 16.
Please note that modified athletics will take place Jan. 16. At dismissal, student-athletes should report to the school library, where they will be supervised by staff until the regular start time for their practice or game.
Professional development provides an important opportunity for staff in schools to come together and learn about the best ways to serve students.
The mission of the City School District of Albany is to educate and prepare all students for college and career, citizenship and life, in partnership with our diverse community. The district serves approximately 9,500 students in 18 elementary, middle and high schools. In addition to neighborhood schools, the district includes several magnet schools and programs, as well as other innovative academic opportunities for students, including four themed academies at Albany High School.
