Message from APS Kitchen Director concerning School Nutrition Standards
Today, at APS, there was an alarm set off for an active threat. After consulting with law enforcement, it was agreed there was no active threat at APS today but rather this was the result of the construction outside the front office that triggered the alarm. Thank you to all staff and students for efficiently securing in place and waiting for law enforcement to clear the building.
Friendly reminder when planning cold lunches for your child. We are a peanut/peanut product free school. Peanuts and items with peanut products brought to the school will be removed. Here are a couple of alternatives to peanut butter!
The APS School Board has just approved the Severe Allergy Handbook during their meeting on 8/14/2024. To ensure the safety of our students and staff, we will be a latex, peanut, and products containing peanuts free environment at APS. While tree nuts are generally allowed, please be mindful of allergen-restricted areas. Please note that peanuts and items with peanut products brought to the school will be removed.
We understand that severe allergies are a growing concern, and as public educators, it's our duty to create a safe environment for everyone. We kindly ask for your help in keeping our school a safe space for all.
An email has been sent to parents with a detailed letter and the Severe Allergy Handbook. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to Nurse Heen or our Administration.
Thank you so much for your cooperation and understanding.

Dear APS Parents,
At the July school board meeting, the board motioned to move forward with the expansion and renovation to the Alexander School. Therefore, we are writing to inform you about the changes to our playground areas due to ongoing construction.
As part of our improvement plans, the playground equipment in the construction area has been removed. The exciting news is that a brand-new playground on the north side of the school is being developed and will be ready for the 2025-2026 school year.
For the upcoming 2024-2025 school year, we have made alternate arrangements to ensure our students continue to have safe and enjoyable recess times. Recess will be held at the football practice field and the nearby city park. We will provide various play equipment for students to use throughout the school year, ensuring they have access to a range of games and activities.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to the school administration.
Sincerely,
Ms. Bieber
