On Thursday, Sept. 3, we will celebrate the start of the new school year with our Welcome Back Event, which will run from 10 a.m.-2:30 p.m.!
All students in grades 9-12 are invited to stop by between 10 a.m.-2:30 p.m. to pick up everything they need for their first day of school, including Chromebooks, IDs, schedules and locker assignments.
Additional services and activities will also be offered, such as first-day haircuts by the Barbering and Cosmetology departments and first-day outfits from the Falcon Market.
Thanks to our partners at the Regional Food Bank and Albany Fund for Education, we will also be distributing food bags starting at 10 a.m. and will continue until supplies run out.
