Due to the forecasted lower temperatures and chance of rain, we are going to postpone VEG Track and Field Day to May 12th. We apologize for any inconvenience.
It’s Principal’s Appreciation Day, and Albany R-3 is proud to celebrate two true Warrior leaders!
At the V.E.G. Elementary, Mrs. Julie Slagle is the heart of our youngest Warriors’ first steps in learning. With kindness, grit, and a whole lot of heart, she creates a place where curiosity grows and every child feels seen, supported, and valued.
At the Albany Middle and High School, Mrs. Barbara Terry leads with strength, vision, and Warrior pride. She meets each day with purpose—championing student success, empowering staff, and helping build the next generation of leaders.
Mrs. Slagle and Mrs. Terry don’t just work in our schools—they shape them. Today, we honor their passion, dedication, and unwavering commitment to Warrior excellence.
Drop a comment below to help us thank these incredible leaders who make Albany R-3 a place where students thrive!

Today, we roll out the red carpet for our incredible Albany R-3 bus drivers!
In honor of School Bus Drivers Day, we want to give a big Warrior THANK YOU to the dedicated drivers who safely transport our students to and from school, games, activities, and more—rain or shine, early mornings and late nights.
Your patience, kindness, and unwavering commitment do not go unnoticed. You are often the first smile students see in the morning and the last wave they get at the end of the day. You help keep the Warrior spirit rolling strong!
Thank you for going the extra mile—literally and figuratively—for our students. We appreciate you!
