Budget Survey Greetings Albemarle County Public Schools Educators, We are in the process of developing the 2018-2019 Superintendent's Funding Request. Your input is of great importance to us, and the following survey is designed to help the school division understand how well we have communicated the annual budget process and to determine the degree to which you support various research-based proposals for improving our services. The information that we collect will be analyzed and applied to the budget development process. We will share the results! Thank you very much for taking time to complete the five (5) item survey at the link below! https://survey.k12insight.com/k/SsUTPVsYTYsPsPsP Yours, Matt Haas

Toy Lift Good morning and Happy Friday everyone! As Christmas season is rapidly approaching, we are looking for volunteers to help box toys for our little bees, during ToyLift weekend which is on SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2ND AT 12:00 PM. This year we will be boxing in the old library space at Albemarle Square.   It truly is a heartwarming experience and lots of fun, so if you could spare an hour or two on that weekend, please email me, and we will sign you up.

Yearbook: We need your contributions! Hello Teachers, I know everyone is very excited for Thanksgiving Break!  I wanted to send some quick reminders about uploading yearbook photos. Below is the link for the grade level folders.  If you click on the grade level there are also folders broken down by teacher.  If photos are only of students in your class, then put it under the folder with your name on it.  If photos include students from a variety of classes then put them in the ALL folder within the grade level folder.  Just a friendly reminder that we would like teachers to upload photos at least 4 times during the school year before Spring Break.   https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B--H2jEEadF-Yzk1dTF6REZzMEk We would like to thank you for all of the teachers that have already been adding photos!  In reviewing photos please take a look at some suggestions that will help us to get the best quality of photos of students during different activities/events: Narrow your uploads to a max of 4 per occasion Make sure students in the photos have permissions to be photographed Faces: We really want to see bright, happy, or even deep in concentration faces. Not tops of heads or backs. Variety of students - please make sure there are different children in each picture. If you already have one of a particular child, try to get other children in the next photo. Please try to review the background of the photos (we have gotten a few adorable smiling children in the foreground with others picking their nose in the background. ;)) ALL PHOTOS MUST BE HIGH RESOLUTION. (if your phone or camera gives you size options - you want to choose the largest possibility) If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know. Thanks, Kelli Crickenberger
