Love seeing the hallways filled with joy and laughter! So great to have the students back today!!


Happy New Year!
As we return to face to face instruction tomorrow, Alma Public Schools asks that parents and guardians keep symptomatic children home.
We also encourage students to mask as we return from a high exposure holiday period.
Thank you for your continued support as we work together to keep kids in school.

We are so excited to start the new year and see everyone back at Hillcrest Space Station tomorrow morning! Make sure to bundle up and bring back boots, hats, gloves, and snow pants! These are the parameters we use for the cold temperatures and outside recess.

Do you know someone interested in becoming a K-12 Director/Supervisor of Special Education? If so, it is not too late to apply. Send the requested application materials to Stacey Criner, Superintendent scriner@almaschools.net before 4:00 PM on Monday, January 3, 2022.


We hope everyone enjoys a well deserved two week break! See everyone in 2022!
Here is this week's edition of Hillcrest Space Station Happenings-December 17!

As we continue to update you regarding the safety protocols in our schools, we wanted to be sure that you all are aware of a “challenge” that is currently being led by the social media platform, Tik Tok. This evening we learned of a nation-wide challenge on Tik Tok, encouraging users to make threats of violence against their schools on Friday, December 17th.
Once again, we are asking for your help as parents/guardians. Please talk to your children about this type of social media challenge and encourage them to speak out against it. Remind your students of the consequences of this behavior. Sometimes our students do not realize the serious consequences or threats to the safety of our schools and community until it is too late.
There have been no threats specific to APS. This is informational only.
