Please note that this information was updated at 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18 with a revised student schedule for the week of Sept. 21-25.
Stephen and Harriet Myers Middle School will relocate to Albany High School for the first marking period of the school year due to ongoing renovations and mold remediation at Myers.
Myers students whose families have selected in-person attendance will attend school on the first floor of Albany High’s new academic building. This applies to students in sixth-grade, and students in grade 6-8 in self-contained special education classrooms. The first marking period ends Nov. 13.
Albany High’s new academic building will be otherwise unoccupied except for the Myers students, faculty and staff.
All City School District of Albany general education students in grades 7-12 are attending school in a fully virtual instructional model due to the district’s anticipated loss of as much as $23.2 million in state aid, a result of the economic impact of COVID-19. This virtual model will be in place at least until Feb. 1.
Myers students relocating to Albany High will follow a fully virtual instructional schedule during the week of Sept. 21-25, with attendance through Google Classroom from 8:40-11:15 a.m. each day.
Myers will begin in-person attendance in the new temporary location on Tuesday, Sept. 29. This will apply to all Myers students enrolled in the in-person model. It will be a full school day, from 8:40 a.m.-2:18 p.m.
CDTA transportation, and First Student yellow bus service for students whose Individualized Education Plan (IEP) requires specialized transportation, will be provided for all Myers students attending Albany High at the start of the school year.
The renovations and mold remediation at Myers have been ongoing throughout the summer following a water leak that caused damage throughout the building’s academic wing.
In light of this, the district has made the decision to shift Myers’ in-person attendance to the high school’s state-of-the-art new academic building, which opened in February and has been vacant since the pandemic forced school buildings to close in mid-March.
