WHAT STAFF ARE SAYING ABOUT ALBANY R-III
I was drawn to this district because it is loaded with potential. Albany is a vibrant community that values academics and supports student growth and development. We are dedicated to providing a quality learning experience and helping our students achieve greatness. When you become an Albany Warrior, you become part of a family that encourages one another and works as a team to be the best we can be. Our district is special and leading the way with positive change to meet the challenges we face in education today. Mrs. Barbara Terry- MS/HS Principal
Virginia E. George Elementary is a special place with a culture where staff identify with the school and feel a sense of belonging and community. The staff is truly a family that cares for one another and the students. The community is so supportive of our school and students. If there is something we need, someone is right there to help out. VEG implements PBIS, Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports throughout the school. All staff have received training to promote positive behavior. All students can identify our mission and are trained on what is expected of them in all areas of the building. Systems are in place in each area of the school. Quarterly celebrations are held for students. I am lucky to be the leader of such a special place with wonderful staff and students! Mrs. Julie Slagle- Elementary Principal
The Albany School District is an outstanding place to work. The community and district value education and rely on all stakeholders to develop a model that best serves its students. As both a teacher and a parent, I am very appreciative of the direction the district has taken to ensure that all students have opportunities to grow in multiple areas and thankful that my family is able to be a part of such a supportive district and community.
