About Us
Welcome to Eagle Point Elementary! We're happy you're here!
Eagle Point Elementary
Eagle Point is home to roughly 300 students in grades Pre-K - 5th. Previously PS #27, our school was renamed Eagle Point to honor it's location adjacent to the highest point in the City of Albany.
As with all Albany City School District Schools, ALL students are eligible for free breakfast and lunch. Students wishing to eat breakfast at school should arrive at 7:40am.
Our school day runs from 8am - 2:30pm (except Pre-K which runs 8:10am-2:40pm). Wrap around care is available through both the YMCA and the Boys and Girls Club. Contact the Main Office for more information: (518) 475-6825
"Here at Eagle Point Elementary School, our mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment that develops and promotes a diverse community of confident lifelong learners.
In addition to our regular elementary curriculum, we offer STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) activities and opportunities in every classroom. This building-wide focus on STEM helps to prepare all of our students to be successful in the rapidly-changing 21st century world in which we live.
We are very proud of our school community, particularly the ownership of learning that our students embrace.
We live in a world full of innovation and discovery, and we strive to ensure that all our students leave Eagle Point ready to lead the way."

Our PTA
The EPES Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) provides opportunities for interested parents, teachers & community members to exchange information about all sorts of school & community related issues.
​
The PTA helps fund and support programs that are not available through the regular school budget through various fundraisers during the course of the school year. Some of the events we annually host include Trunk or Treat, Ice Skating Party, Scholastic Book Fair, Teacher Appreciation Luncheon, and The Holiday Shop.
Members also volunteer their time for other school happenings such as Yearbook pictures, Field Day, School Orientation, and Graduations. We are so grateful for all the parent & teachers who help volunteer! They help make our PTA and our school so much better!
The PTA is always looking for new eyes & talents to help support the EPES students, staff & programs. If you have feedback about some of our efforts or events – we want to hear it! Please email the PTA officers at eaglepointPTA@gmail.com or join us at a meeting!
