A Message from Administration

Wow!  Can you believe it?  We are in the last week of the 2025-2026 school year!  As I reflect on the year, I want to thank our amazing teachers, faculty and staff, parents and students.  We have such a wonderful community that has worked together to build so many beautiful memories and a successful school year!

We have several staff/faculty changes to make you aware of:

Staff changes for the 2025-2026 school year:

• Nancy Leopold will be retiring and spending time with her family

• Jordan Stewart will be leaving to pursue a teaching position in Bullitt County

• Matt Kruer will be leaving to continue his PE teaching/coaching career at KCD

• Alaina Jenne has decided to stay home and enjoy her three young daughters

We are so sad to see these teachers leaving, and we look forward to seeing them in their new roles.

Additionally:

• Mary Gates will be moving to the new, additional Learning Coordinator position

• Robyn Melton will be moving to the third-grade teaching position

• Melissa Mann will be moving to the second-grade teaching position

We have a couple of new teachers/staff we are adding to our Viking family:

• Glenn King will be returning to St. Albert after being gone for a year with JCPS.  Mr. King will be returning to 6th grade Math and Science.

• Courtney Humston will be returning to St. Albert, but this time she is returning to an Assistant position.  Courtney has been at home this past year with her new baby, Cal. 

• Rachel Peters will be joining our 5th-grade team.  Mrs. Peters is coming to us after teaching 5th grade at St. Michael for six years before staying home with her daughter.

• Katelyn Becker will be our new PE teacher.  Ms. Becker is a graduate of Mercy Academy and University of Louisville.  

I will keep you updated throughout the summer with faculty/staff additions and/or changes.

As summer begins, I encourage you to take time to slow down, enjoy special moments with your children, and thank God for the many blessings in your lives. Wishing you a summer filled with joy, rest, and wonderful memories.

I look forward to seeing you all in August!

Ellen Martin

School Principal

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:

Stewardship Renewal Program

It's time for our annual Stewardship Renewal Program! We ask that you prayerfully reflect on your stewardship commitment and return your completed form no later than Sunday, June 1st. The renewal program helps the parish by encouraging spiritual engagement, greater participation in ministries, and increasing financial support—allowing the parish to effectively implement and maintain its liturgies, ministries, facilities and support for the school.

Printed copies were sent home with students and are available in the parish office and the gathering space of church. Or download the form from the parish website at www.stalbert.org/stewardship. Completed forms can be sent/mailed to the school/parish office; dropped in the collection basket during Mass; or emailed to stewardship@stalbert.org.

We thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to journeying with you for another year of shared faith and community involvement!
