Some portions of Stella May Swartz School experienced a power outage today. Aside from the initial surprise, everyone is okay, and we have continued with our instruction. Restrooms, drinking fountains, and emergency power (fire alarms) remained operational. The outage was caused by a car that hit a transformer in the area. ComEd was onsite within 30 minutes, and power was restored within the hour.

On this night, the building will be open for students to meet our Kindergarten teachers, tour the school, and officially "sign" their commitment to Kindergarten with our Viking mascot! We are encouraging families to register prior to this event, but if you need assistance, please come prepared to register that night. Registration can be done easily online through your Skyward portal. Here is the link for your convenience: https://www.saltcreek48.org/page/registration And we hope to see you on March 13th for our Kindergarten "Signing Day!" (RSVP's encouraged through the office.)

Thank you to FTC, which will donate yearbooks to the 1st, 4th, and 8th grade students this year.
Kindergarten students celebrated community helpers today! They all chose a community helper and wrote an opinion piece on why their helper is the best! They got to dress as their community helpers and share their stories today. Way to go Vikings!
Albright had a very productive e-Learning day today! Thank you to all staff, students, and parents for helping make this as close to a regular school day as possible. We are so proud of how engaged our students were, even during asynchronous work time. Viking Pride all around!
