Today Principal Kenis celebrated the students' achievement of reaching their goal in Sibley's "Stroll For A Goal" by hugging a goat, a reward they earned through their hard work.


Kindergartners dove into reading the story Boxitects with Mrs. Seeger during a recent Media lesson. Students used their imaginations and made creations from cardboard. Their unique designs allowed them to explore and be creative through hands-on play, fostering a love for STEM concepts in a fun and interactive way.

We would like to update parents and guardians on a social media post that has been misinterpreted across the nation. When we learned of this initial post that had a school named Southwest on it, we immediately contacted our school resource officers, Officer Huse & Officer Conn. Upon investigating, we were informed that there is an underperforming list of Georgia schools circling around Snapchat. The “targeted assistance” list included a school named Southwest Middle School that was to receive targeted academic supports. Unfortunately, the misinformation led to some putting this information on social media with the wrong information and context. At no point were Albert Lea Area Schools identified nor in danger. We will continue to make our students and staff our top priority by ensuring their safety. We value and appreciate the support from Albert Lea Police Department and Freeborn County Sheriff’s Office and will continue to partner with them to ensure the safety of students and staff members.
Thank you for your continued support of the Albert Lea Area Schools.
Good morning Sibley Families, be sure to join us tonight at Sibley's Back To School Picnic.

I want to express my gratitude to Lee and Sherri, Sibley's custodial staff, for all the hard work they've done this summer getting our school ready for a new year. The school looks beautiful and it's clear that they have gone above and beyond to make Sibley shine.
With sincere appreciation,
