Attendance Matters at APS! 🧡🖤
We are off to a strong start! During the first 20 days of school, the percentage of APS students considered chronically absent decreased from 23.66% last year to 17.93% this year—a decrease of nearly 6 percentage points!
Even more encouraging, when we compare the same groups of students from last year to this year, chronic absenteeism decreased from 24.12% to 17.73%, with 10 of the 12!

Beginning today, Oct. 2, youth employment permits will be processed through the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity’s (LEO) new Youth Employment Permit Portal rather than through schools. The transition to the new portal does not change Michigan’s youth employment laws, requirements or protections. It simply moves the permit process to a new, centralized online platform.
A valid youth employment permit issued by a Michigan school before Oct. 2, 2026 will continue to be valid until the minor turns 18 or graduates. A new work permit is needed if the minor changes jobs.
Please visit the new Youth Employment Permit Portal for further information.

Homecoming week spirit days.
Attention Alma High School Students!! See the fliers for information about Homecoming Week festivities! 🖤🧡🐾
What an exciting day for Alma Public Schools! Today, we celebrated the completion and official opening of our new Agriculture Barn.
This barn is so much more than a new building—it is an investment in our students and their futures.
Our mission says it best: “We provide the tools and experiences to inspire success.” Today, we celebrated another example of that mission coming to life!
A huge thank you to our Board of Education, staff, administration, IDI Architecture, JBS Contracting, FFA program, GI-CTE, students, and everyone who helped turn this vision into reality.
We can’t wait to see our students fill this space with learning, leadership, hard work, and plenty of Panther Pride! 🧡🖤
