Dear APS Parents/Guardians,

Thank you to those students who have signed up to assist with our move in. Unfortunately, we need to move the student assisted “move-in” days to Wednesday–Thursday, August 20–21 instead of Tuesday–Wednesday, August 18-19. I apologize for the delay.

A few logistics:

Lunch: 12:00–1:00 pm (one-hour break). Students may bring a lunch or visit our two eating establishments in town, The Little Griddle Café or The Old 85 Bar and Grill .

Check-in: Please have your student check in at the front office with Jami Hudson upon arrival.

Entry: Use Door 4 (NW door of the high school wing).

Weather: The two days will be hot and we will be moving furniture from the shipping containers in the parking lot into the building. We do have an ice machine so the students may want to bring a refillable water bottle.

Thank you for your flexibility and support as we finish preparations for the new year. We apologize for any inconvenience the one day delay has caused.

Ms. Bieber
