If you have not completed the MiStudent Voice Parent Perception Survey, you still have time!
All staff and parents can fill out the survey, and students in 5-12th grade have completed it.
The MI Student Voice Perception Survey helps schools better understand students’ experiences in school. The survey asks students and parents about their sense of engagement, belonging, and social-emotional learning so their voices can help guide school and district improvement efforts. This feedback provides a broader picture of school quality and helps inform decisions about instruction, supports, and school environments beyond academic test scores.
The Parent Survey is still open until Friday, 3/27.

On Friday, our CTE Health Science students participated in Join Hands Day! They spent their class time cutting out fabric to be used for assistive devices for patients in hospice and nursing homes. They worked diligently, making neck pillows, clothing coverings and other items. We are impressed with our students’ hard work – but we’re most proud of their kindness and compassion.
Check out this video on our YouTube to see these amazing CTE Health Science students – and don’t forget to give it a “Like” and subscribe to the channel, so you can stay up to date on all things APS!

"Working at APS is so much more than a job to me. I graduated from Alma in 1996, my wife teaches at AHS and my own children are students at Hillcrest and DLPMS. The relationships I have built with my students, athletes and co-workers are extremely important to me, but when you see a kid you've worked with gain confidence, understanding or success there are few better feelings."
