We have a lot of “monkeys” hanging out on Hillcrest Island! Students LOVING this November weather!!
It is almost time!!! The books have arrived!!
The students did great during our fire drill today, this one being during the 3rd grade lunch. Students reacted quickly and quietly exited the building.
We love having such an awesome library at Hillcrest and so many great books for the students to read!!
Thank you to Dr. Yates for sharing your knowledge to continue to support APS special education paraprofessionals in their learning path!
Paraprofessional staff is also receiving CHAMPS training today, under the leadership of Mrs. Hahn. APS is committed to providing professional development surrounding the district goals to all staff.
Mr. Huff is leading members of the APS Custodial, Maintenance, Food Service Teams, along with Administrative Secretaries, Central Office staff, Paraprofessionals, Transportation Department, and other non-certified teaching staff member in ALICE training and reviewing safety protocols this morning.
APS teachers are diving into a day of professional learning, focused on the CHAMPS framework and continued work on building a comprehensive Multi-Tiered System of Support.

November is Homeless Awareness Month and we’re excited to be partnering with United Way of Gratiot & Isabella Counties to raise money for Gratiot County Hope House through a coin war challenge called “Coins for a Cause”! Start saving and collecting your coins to send with your student! The classroom that raises the most amount of money will win a PIZZA PARTY! 🍕
