A friendly reminder: students who ride the bus MUST have winter clothing on. Students will not be allowed to board an APS bus without the appropriate gear. Temperatures have reached -30 recently, it is extremely important that your child be dressed appropriately. If your child is in need of winter gear please contact the office.

Tomorrow there is a funeral at the Trinity Lutheran Church, we ask the students and staff of APS to not park in both church parking lots or adjacent street parking to allow for those attending funeral places to park. We appreciate your attention to this matter.
