March is Reading Month! APS Public Safety Criminal Justice students have been reading true crime books for a class project. They are learning to analyze police tactics in crime scene investigations and questioning. They are also studying the working of the court and corrections systems. Another example of the unique and valuable experiences our CTE programs provide our students with!
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.

Our next APS Staff Spotlight features High School Art teacher and Varsity Boys Basketball Head Coach Chris Brown. Mr. Brown is dedicated to ensuring Alma is a great place to learn and grow. We are proud to call him a Panther! Let's hear what he has to say about his work here at 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."

During Trimester 2, we saw some challenges with consistent attendance across the district. We know that winter illnesses played a big role in that, and we appreciate families doing their best during a tough season. As we move into Trimester 3 and leave the winter months behind, let’s work together to make regular attendance a priority. Being in school every day helps students stay connected, continue learning and finish the year strong!
Below you’ll see some of our Trimester 2 attendance data as we reflect and work toward even stronger attendance in Trimester 3. Thank you for partnering with us to support student success!
