Caring for our Community
Albertville Primary School has partnered with the Hanover Area Food Shelf to aid in their toy and mitten drive. The Hanover Area Food Shelf collects and distributes donations to serve the needs of families residing in Albertville, St. Michael, Hanover, Rockford, Loretto, and Greenfield.
To help with this worthy cause, please send new unwrapped toys for boys and girls ages birth to age 18, as well as hats and mittens.
Donations can be dropped off in the office or labeled “donation” and sent with your child to school. Collection will begin on November 28 and run through December 2.
Thank you for supporting this deserving cause and for modeling the six pillars of character.

WINTER RECESS CLOTHING
Winter is officially almost here! All students need to wear snow pants, boots, hats, waterproof mittens, and a warm winter coat everyday during recess.
Students who are not properly dressed will have to stay off the equipment and play on the non-snow covered areas.
Remember, students will go outside for a 30-minute recess whenever the temperature/wind-chill is above 0 degrees.
INCLEMENT WEATHER
· STMA has a mass notification system that will call and email you regarding school closings or late starts.
· Parents who have ParentVue accounts are encouraged to verify email and phone numbers.
· School closing information will also be announced on local TV stations 4, 5, 9, and 11.
· Every effort will be made to sustain regular hours and programs. If busses can operate, schools will be open. Schools will not close due to severe cold; schools will close only if it is too cold to start busses or if roads are impassable.
Elementary Boundaries
For grade one, all kindergarten students will attend one of the district’s three elementary schools-Big Woods Elementary, Fieldstone Elementary, or St. Michael Elementary. Students are assigned an elementary school based on boundary lines. STMA has the following student buildings:
· Three elementary schools-grades 1-4
· Two middle schools-grades 5-8
· One high school-grades 9-12
If you have questions about which school your child will attend, please contact the main office.
BUS SAFETY REMINDER
For the majority of kindergarten students their day starts and ends on a school bus. Our goal is to make the time students spend on the bus enjoyable and safe. Kindergarten students have been busy learning about bus expectations and safety. Students had an opportunity to practice bus safety procedures on a bus in September.
To ensure a safe ride to and from school, students should sit in their seats, keep their voices low, listen to the bus driver, and keep their hands and feet to themselves.
Please remind your child to sit in their assigned seat on the bus. Before exiting the bus, students should remember to gather all of their items. I.E. hats, mittens/gloves, coat, backpack, etc.
Thank you for supporting these expectations and ensuring the safety of our students.
