Hello Warrior Family!


It's been a great 1st Quarter for our Albany Warriors! Lots of success in the classroom and on the field. We couldn't be more proud of our students and want to discuss their strengths with you as well as areas we see they need to grow. Parent/Teacher Conferences are October 24th and there is a link at the bottom of the Update to reserve an arrival time. Students and parents are welcome to come out and talk to the staff about Q1 progress and concerns.


We value our partnership with you and appreciate you taking time out of your schedule to attend. The student class with the highest percentage of attendance will receive a Sonic Drink party. Parents who attend can also enter to win a GRC season pass. For more information about conferences, contact your child's teacher or the office.

Softball Season

This season the softball team was able to use the experience they gained last year to compete at a much higher level this year. Mr. Epperly was very proud of the way the team continued to grow and learn from each opportunity. They pppled their new knowledge in several game situations and when faced with adversity, the team was confident. They showed great trust in each other to remain steadfast in their efforts until the final out was recorded.
