5th graders had a visit from the Gratiot Strings Association this week in music class to learn about how string instruments work. Students had the opportunity try out a cello or a violin, as well! Thank you to Dr. Caputo and Ms. Chaffee!




Look at all these smiling faces at lunch today! 😁

Mrs. Adkins and Mrs. Stephens’ 4th grade classes are practicing their knowledge of coordinates by playing a back-and-forth game of Battleship! What a fun idea! I wonder which class will win?

Mrs. Salisbury shows our students many different ways to make music! Buckets and sticks sure sound good!

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.

Sunshine and playground games bring so much joy!




What an awesome week! We loved seeing so many students sharing in spirit week!!
Hope to see you at the Homecoming parade & game tonight!

Students are receiving surprise positive messages from others. We love those words of encouragement and support!

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.
The playground was filled with a sea of orange and black this morning! Can’t hide our Panther pride!! 🐾🧡🖤
