Update to Community Regarding COVID-19
Dear Albany High School Community,
Due to ongoing efforts to support local health precautions, the following steps have been confirmed but please keep in mind that this is a very fluid set of circumstances so thank you for your support and patience.
The Diversity Week assembly and food day have been postponed. We will now have a regular bell schedule for Wednesday 3/25 and Friday 3/27.
All musical performances have been postponed or modified. Craig Bryant and Mary Stocker will be communicating these plans to their respective groups.
Confirming that all field trips are cancelled or postponed through April 10th, rescheduled depending on availability.
We received a re-supply of hand sanitizer and disinfectant from the District Office and continue to encourage all staff and students to practice due diligence with personal hygiene practices and to stay at home if feeling ill or have a fever.
I'll be working with our Department Chairs on contingency plans for distance learning and supporting curriculum in the event of a school closure. At this time, there is no action taken to close schools.
Please contact me with any additional questions or information and check our AUSD website for local updates.
Best regards,
Alexia Ritchie
