Student Help Desk Survey: We know the virtual environment has been an adjustment for everyone and we’re collecting honest and constructive student feedback about their experiences so far this year. In order to best represent the full student population, we ask that you please share this form with your pod students this week.

​We appreciate all that you're doing to support our communal goal of learning this school year, and we believe that feedback from the student perspective can provide a better understanding of what can be done to enhance our ability to achieve that goal. We look forward to sharing the results with you. Thank you, The Student Help Desk Student
Selfie Wall: In order to represent our diversity and promote positivity, we are bringing back the Selfie wall!  Please choose a phrase from the Google Slides provided and either write it down or print it!  Then, take a picture of YOU holding your phrase of choice.  Upload that picture to the Google Form.  These pictures will be used to create a collage of Albany High students that we all can see!  Next year, Falcon council will print these pictures and hang them before school starts!

🤗 BEST BUDDIES:
Best Buddies (BB) is an international program dedicated to the inclusion of all students with different abilities. You would be joining BB as a Peer Buddy (PB). The role of the PB is to be a friend to students with Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities (IDD). Under normal circumstances you would visit one of the self contained special ed classes once a week to socialize with students with IDD, these students are Buddies.

Once a month we would have an after school Social, during this time you would play games with the Buddies, participate in an art/craft activity and just simply hang out! This makes the Buddies extremely happy and we promise it will make you happy as well when you see the smile on their faces. For now, we will have virtual meetings and socials via google meets. BB is a great opportunity to gain volunteer hours with Passport For Good. It is also a great addition to college applications and job resumes since it is a program known worldwide and throughout many college campuses.

If you would like to join or would like more info on BB contact Miss G. at
tgiglio1@albany.k12.ny.us or Mrs. Miller at kmiller1@albany.k12.ny.us
