Announcements

Fall Fund Drive
Less than $5k to go to meet our goal of $20,000! Nearly 2/3 of our yearly budget come from the Fall Fund Drive donations. We are making great progress, and the fund drive continues until mid December.   Look for the goal tracking thermometer banner in the front of school!   Learn more on our Fall Fund Drive page.

​Albemarle County Schools Budget Survey
The 2019-20 Budget Survey is designed to help the school division understand how well we have communicated the annual budget process to our community and to gather input on where the school division should prioritize funding.
