Welcome to Arbor Hill Community Elementary School's website.  Our school serves students from pre-kindergarten through grade 5. The school is heavily involved in a school reform initiative called ATLAS Communities, which is helping teachers find new and creative ways to raise student achievement.

While Arbor Hill Elementary is renovated during the 2008-09 and 2009-10 school years as part of the City School District of Albany's facilities project, the school temporarily will relocate to the former Philip Schuyler Elementary School at 141 Western Ave. Students from Thomas O'Brien Academy of Science and Technology (TOAST) also will be located at Schuyler Elementary during the 2008-09 school year only due to facilities work at that elementary building.

If you have not received information regarding transportation for the 2008-09 school year, please contact the office at 462-7165. If the address we have on file is different from your current address, you will have to go to Central Registration, located in the Sunshine Building at the corner of Delaware and Morton avenues, to change your address to ensure transportation for your child for the 2008-09 school year. Transportation will be provided for students who live one-half mile (1/2 mile) from Schuyler Elementary.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child's education please do not hesitate to contact me using one of the venues above.  I look forward to an exciting an new school year.

Sincerely,

Rosiland Gaines-Harrell
