More photos from the end of the year from Step-Up and Field Day! Go Albany Wolves!
What a wonderful way to wrap up another school year! Our students enjoyed a fun-filled Field Day packed with games, friendly competition, teamwork, and plenty of smiles.
This year was especially meaningful as it marked our first year as a middle school. Together, students and staff helped build new traditions, strengthen our school community, and make history at ACS. We are incredibly proud of all the growth, perseverance, and accomplishments our students have shown throughout the year.
Thank you to our staff, families, and volunteers who helped make this year so special. Have a safe, happy, and well-deserved summer, Wolves!
We are excited to celebrate our 8th grade graduates as they complete middle school and prepare to take their next step into high school.
Over the years, this class has grown in many ways—academically, socially, and as members of our school community. They’ve faced challenges, learned how to navigate middle school, and also shared plenty of moments of humor, creativity, and connection that have made an impact on our school.
As they move forward, we hope they carry with them the lessons learned here, along with the confidence to take on new opportunities and the resilience to keep growing through challenges.
We are proud of how far they’ve come and wish them the very best in high school. Congratulations to the Class of 2026!

🇺🇸🚌 OCSU 8th Graders take on Washington, D.C.! 🏛️
Here they are seen on their visit to Capitol Hill.
Federal funding is based on participation, so every meal served helps strengthen and sustain the program for the families who count on it most. The more kids and families who participate, the more welcoming and “normal” the program becomes, helping remove the stigma that can sometimes keep people away. Summer meals are for everyone 18 and under, and every person in line helps make that message louder and clearer. Please help spread the word and help us build a stronger, more connected community this summer!
Congratulations to the students from Albany Community School for earning an impressive 2nd place finish at the Math Olympiads!

We are proud of all the students who represented their schools so well and showcased their mathematical talents!
