ALHS Tiger Update: Nov. 4, 2022
A bi-weekly newsletter to keep Tiger families informed
Veteran's Day 2022
On Friday, November 11, students at Albert Lea High School will be watching a special video produced by the Tiger Vision class. As a tribute to Veteran's the class will be explaining the history of Veteran's Day and making local connections to mark this special day. Special guests will include teachers Kurt Barrickman, Burke Egner, Andy Marincic and Stephanie Schneider. We thank you for your service!
The video will be shared on school social media sites beginning on the morning of November 11 and with all students during FLeX. Thank you to all people who have served our country.
Operation "Be On Time"--Phase II
For the past two weeks, students have been encouraged to be in class and in class on time. Here are some facts about the project we have been working on for the past two weeks:
- Hallways have been near empty while classes are in session allowing students to concentrate on learning in the classroom without distractions.
- Between October 10 and October 17 (6 days), there were 2,245 Tardies or Absence by Tardies recorded by staff. Between October 25 and November 1 (6 days), there were 715 Tardies or Absence by Tardies recorded by staff. This marks a 68% reduction in tardies during the first weeks of Phase II.
- Beginning on Monday, November 7, the REACH program will start to assist students who need a little more support to be successful at school. More information will be forwarded to families whose students qualify for this program.
Digital Display Update
The new TouchPros Digital Displays supplied by the Albert Lea Education Foundation are almost finished being installed around the building. The 65-inch touchscreen display was put up on November 1 and looks stunning in the upstairs hallway near the Commons. Be sure to come to a home event over the winter and check out the display. More and more information will be added as the year continues.

A big thank you to the Albert Lea Education Foundation, Dale Larson, and Albert Lea Alumni Scott and Jennifer Erickson for your contributions to this project.
