Reminder- There is no school tomorrow for students (11/1/22).

Reminder that Alma Public Schools does not have school on Tuesday, November 1st. Teachers will have a day of learning.

Today we had our FIRST rainy day pick up! We tried something a little new! A HUGE thank you to all you adults for your patience and understanding while we worked through it! It went pretty smooth too!

Session #1 of "Parenting the Love and Logic Way" was very informative, as we discussed strategies to use at home when our children argue or persistently plead for things.
We will be hosting 3 more sessions throughout the year, to continue building strategies to use at home. These workshops are open to all K-5 parents, 5:30-7:00pm, at Luce Road ECLC.
Please RSVP to the Luce Road Office at 989-463-1012.

This is an important message in response to the inaccurate rumors being circulated regarding school safety. School safety is a top priority for APS. As announced on September 23rd, a cross department investigation has been completed. There are no student or building concerns.

Alma Public Schools would like to thank the Alma Police Department, Gratiot County Police Department, OK2Say and our MOSAIC threat assessment tool which were all utilized to determine that Alma High School is safe after a recent tipster provided concerning information. Although still an open investigation, it was determined that there was no threat to the high school student and staff safety.
Tomorrow is Orange & Black day! Show your Panther Pride!

Homecoming Parade registration is now closed. Unregistered entries may be permitted if space allows.

All vehicles participating in the parade should enter from Downie St. onto Park St. and ask for instructions from parade staff (wearing yellow safety vests).

Children will need to remain ON floats during the parade lineup and for the entire parade. This is a safety issue, so please remind children.
The parade will begin at 5:00 p.m. and will end at the Donald L. Pavlik Middle School.
Tomorrow is Favorite Sports Team day! Wear clothing that shows everyone who your favorite sports team is.
