In classrooms, we're spotlighting Responsibility through our Character Strong lessons. Students are learning that being responsible means doing what's right—even when it's hard. Ask your child how they've shown Responsibility this week!
Let's keep growing together—one donut, one lesson, one moment at a time.

As a reminder, please review and follow the policies regarding student attendance at the event. Our goal is to ensure everyone enjoys a fun and safe time at both the parade and the game.
At APS, we believe that every student matters and every day matters!
Our School Board Policy 5301 requires us to notify families if a student is absent more than 10% of school days. Attendance is first checked after the first 20 days of school, and then again at the end of each trimester.
This year, after the first 20 days, we saw a small increase in the percentage of students who have missed more than 10% of days (22.9% in 2024 compared to 23.5% this year).
We are committed to working alongside families to support positive daily attendance, because being at school every day helps students learn, grow, and succeed!
