News & Announcements
eLearning Days
Remember that this year students will attend eLearning days when travel conditions forces schools to close. All parents will get a copy of the eLearning plan for each child attending Albany Elementary at conferences. Most teachers are also making this plan available on their Weebly sites and/or emailing the information to you.
When you receive a call letting you know that school is closed, Superintendent Johnson will announce that the day will be an eLearning day. That announcement will be your reminder to pull out the plan for each of your children.
Please call Ann Schultz if you have any questions.

SNAP and Fare for All
SNAP (SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM)
SNAP (formerly known as food-stamps) was designed to help income-eligible families to buy food needed for good health. SNAP benefits are deposited monthly on an electronic card that is used like a debit card, called an EBT card – the EBT card is accepted at most grocery stores and many farmers markets around Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland’s SNAP Specialist can help you determine if you and your family are eligible for SNAP Benefits, and assist you in completing your application in-person or over the phone!
