This afternoon's bus routes will be altered again today. Bus route 3 will be split between two different buses causing some delays in students arriving home. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Some buses are running behind schedule as we had to combine some routes.

Please join us this evening for a guided tour through both buildings from 5:30-7:00 p.m.

Seniors: we have reached crunch time for scholarships! Today, a new list was posted in the Class of 2026 Google Classroom with the remaining scholarships and their deadlines. Some key notes -

Supporting the Future of Local Health Scholarship - you must complete the application AND volunteer or job shadow with Albany Mosaic by April 1, 2026. See Mrs. Carlock for help with setting this up.

Common Scholarship - Due March 31. This one application gets you applied to many different scholarships. There are a few with additional essay requirements, see the list on Google Classroom for these prompts.

Shawna Dye Memorial - open to ALL seniors. Essay required.
Chase Stooksbury Memorial - open to ALL seniors. Essay and common application required.

Most applications will need two recommendation letters, a personal statement, and a resume.

Keep pushing seniors, you're almost there! Let's tackle these scholarship applications!

Attention VEG parents. It is time for the second application of fluoride treatment.
