Tours start at 1:45 and run until 2:30, leaving from the school atrium every 15 minutes. There will be groups specifically for 9th grade parents and those students new to Albany. No sign-up is necessary.

Continuing Students
This year we will be making class schedules for all students visible in Aeries on Monday, August 10th. Continuing students will not need to come to school before the first day of school. In order to receive class schedules students must have no unpaid fines from previous school years, and parents must complete the annual data verification and authorizations in the Aeries parent portal. (Available in late July.)

School photos and student IDs will also be taken care of after the start of the school year.
