This is an important message in response to the inaccurate rumors being circulated regarding school safety. School safety is a top priority for APS. As announced on September 23rd, a cross department investigation has been completed. There are no student or building concerns.
Alma Public Schools would like to thank the Alma Police Department, Gratiot County Police Department, OK2Say and our MOSAIC threat assessment tool which were all utilized to determine that Alma High School is safe after a recent tipster provided concerning information. Although still an open investigation, it was determined that there was no threat to the high school student and staff safety.
Homecoming Parade registration is now closed. Unregistered entries may be permitted if space allows.
Please avoid Downie St. between Park and Prospect from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Friday unless involved in the parade. Park and Prospect will be closed North of Downie St. starting at 3:45 p.m.
All vehicles participating in the parade should enter from Downie St. onto Park St. and ask for instructions from parade staff (wearing yellow safety vests).
Parents may drop off students by pulling into the St. Mary's parking lot off of Park St. and exiting back onto Downie. There will be no parking in that lot. Do not drop off children 12 and under until after 4:00 p.m.
Children will need to remain ON floats during the parade lineup and for the entire parade. This is a safety issue, so please remind children.
The parade will begin at 5:00 p.m. and will end at the Donald L. Pavlik Middle School.

Please be advised that the Alma Police Department responded to a personal injury accident at Hillcrest Elementary this morning.
