North Albany to remain in distance learning Wednesday

All North Albany Middle School students will remain in distance learning Wednesday, and the school will have a staggered return to in-person attendance beginning with sixth-graders only on Thursday.

On Wednesday, all North Albany students will begin the day with an asynchronous lesson in Google Classroom during first period. Students then will follow their regular schedule from periods 2-8, and will end the day Wednesday with an asynchronous lesson in ninth period. 

The staggered return to in-person attendance over the next several days will be as follows:

• Thursday – Grade 6 in-person (classroom pods); grades 7-8 virtual
• Friday – Grades 6-7 in-person (classroom pods); grade 8 virtual
• Monday – All students in-person (classroom pods)

Students in distance learning Thursday and Friday also will end the school day with asynchronous lessons in ninth period. These asynchronous periods this week will allow faculty and staff to participate in professional development sessions designed to help support students’ social-emotional needs. 

As a reminder, all City School District of Albany students will be off next Tuesday, May 17, for a professional development day for faculty and staff. All North Albany students will be in-person Wednesday, May 18, following their regular schedule.
