PRINCIPAL'S CORNER
It is an honor to introduce myself as the Interim Principal for Fridley’s ALC for this upcoming 2023-24 school year. I am proud to be a part of this incredible learning community serving over 30 years in several capacities within the district. I look forward to meeting each student and to support their learning goals.
As a staff, our priority is to create a caring learning community through expertise and action. The best interests of our students is at the center of our purpose. As your Principal, it is important to me that everyone who steps through our doors are excited to be here and work together with a goal to obtain a high school diploma. This attitude enables us to meet challenges of academic excellence in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.
My door is always open and I will welcome your input. Please feel free to email or call me to discuss any concerns you may have throughout the school year.

NEWS FROM FRIDLEY TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT
Fridley Public Schools uses a variety of digital tools to support student learning. Depending upon the particular educational technology being used, our district may need to collect different types of student data, which is then shared with educational technology vendors through their online sites, services, and/or applications. Under Minnesota’s Student Data Privacy Act, educational technology vendors are prohibited from selling or renting a student's information or from engaging in targeted advertising using a student's information. Such vendors may only disclose student data for K-12 school purposes and other limited purposes permitted under the law. This act also requires districts to provide timely notice of the tool used, data collected, and contact information.

Hispanic Heritage Month September 15 through October 15
This observation began in 1968 under President Lyndon Johnson as Hispanic Heritage Week. President Ronald Reagan expanded it in 1988 to include a 30-day period that started on September 15th and ended on October 15. The Public Law 100-402 approved it and it was made law on August 17, 1988.
The United States Statutes at Large, which are widely accessible through federal libraries, contains the public laws that have been designated as a week and then a months for National Hispanic Heritage.
