Albany R-III School District

Albany R-III School District is proud to offer the following services to students, staff, and our community. It is our goal to continue providing this level of service while adding amenities that benefit the lives of our fellow citizens.

We are excited to announce our VEG Elementary Students of the Month for March, recognizing their outstanding demonstration of the character trait of Cooperation. Their dedication to working well with others sets a wonderful example for all students at VEG!

Max Holtzclaw, 5th Grade: Max has excelled in group activities, particularly during the recent science fair, where he collaborated effectively with his partner. His willingness to assist others and address potential issues before they escalate showcases his commitment to teamwork.

Emersyn Parkhurst, 1st Grade: Emersyn exemplifies cooperation in every aspect of her school life. She is an exceptional partner, consistently follows instructions, and provides support whenever there is a substitute teacher in the classroom.

Congratulations to both students!

Tonight's home baseball game against Gilman City has been cancelled.

3rd through 5th grade students should have received a MAP informational letter and encouragement letter. Please send back the encouragement letter by next Friday, April 10th. If you need an additional copy please contact your child's teacher or Mrs. Freeman at VEG.

Also, if you are willing to donate snacks or peppermints for testing you may send those to the elementary as well! Thank you!

MS/HS Families- just a reminder that testing starts this week! We would like to remind all students to bring a charged Chromebook to school each day. If anyone would like to donate prepackaged snacks for students to have while testing, we would greatly appreciate it.
