A Message from Administration

As we enter into the final week of school (I still can't believe it!), it’s a meaningful time to reflect on the growth our students have made - academically, socially, and emotionally. The end of the year can bring a mix of excitement and nervousness as routines shift and transitions begin. Encourage your child to finish strong by showing kindness, resolving any lingering friendship challenges, and taking pride in their accomplishments. As you head into summer, consider small ways to help your child stay emotionally and socially prepared for the next school year. Keeping a simple routine, encouraging regular reading, practicing problem-solving in social situations, and having conversations about their hopes and questions for the year ahead can all help ease the back-to-school transition. Most importantly, summer is a time to rest, play, and reconnect as a family. We’re so proud of each student and wish your family a joyful, restorative summer!

Take Care,

Loren Corbett

School Counsel

FACTS Family Portal- Parent Action Required

St. Albert the Great is now using an integrated version of the FACTS Tuition Management and FACTS SIS systems. If you have previously used FACTS to apply for financial aid with the CEF or to create a tuition payment plan, you will now access that account via FACTS Family Portal.  

FACTS SIS will replace Sycamore in the fall. You will find basic demographic information for you and your student(s) in FACTS SIS now, but grades, attendance, and class schedules will continue to be located in Sycamore for the rest of this school year.  

You will find the Family Portal link on the school website or by following the steps below:
