Please be patient tomorrow as we make calls and updates accordingly.
Update- a sub bus has just left to pick up Bus G kids. If drop off is necessary, all three elementary buildings are now open.
Due to a last minute driver illness, Bus G is not running on time. We will run the route after another bus returns. This would make Bus G approximately 45 minutes late. If you need to drop your child off due to work, please drop all Bus G students off at Hillcrest. APS will make transfers to the appropriate buildings.

APS would like to prevent additional spread across our district. We encourage everyone to wear a mask, remain socially distanced and continue best practice sanitization strategies. Masks will be available at school, on our buses and in all offices.
