Today was a great day of learning and reflection for our staff! This morning, Building Implementation Teams (BIT) met with our Corwin presenters to plan and provide feedback, and in the afternoon, our teachers were able to continue their learning and work together with their teams!

Attending school every day is the goal, but we know unexpected illness can keep students away from the classroom. Practice healthy habits to prevent sickness. But if your child does get sick and cannot attend school, have a plan! Your child's teacher(s) and other dedicated school staff are here to help.

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!

Once again, APS will be participating in the MI Student Voice Perception Survey for all parents and staff, and for students in grades 5-12th only.
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 will be open from Monday, March 9th, through 4 pm on Friday, March 20th.

Correction from the letter: The meeting will be on Monday, March 9th at 6:30 PM in the high school library.
