Alma Public Schools COVID Guidelines https://5il.co/14xgf

New Alma Public Schools COVID Guidelines effective 1/26/2022. https://5il.co/14rg2 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.
