Special Thanks to EREF!
Special thanks to the E. Rivers Education Foundation (EREF) who recently purchased new, high-quality air purifiers for every classroom and common space in the building. These machines will provide an additional level of safety for our students and staff as the HEPA filters remove 99.9% of all air contaminants. Not only will they assist in our mitigation of the Coronavirus, but they will also improve the air quality for allergy sufferers and asthmatics. EREF’s generous donation makes us all smile and breath more deeply. Thank you, EREF!

Spring Break
No School April 5-9
Virtual Learning after Spring Break
April 12-16
As the district continues to focus on protecting staff and student health and safety, and in light of an anticipated high volume of student and staff travel during Spring Break (April 5-9), APS is taking the precautionary step of utilizing virtual instruction during the week of April 12-16, to help maintain low rates of COVID-19 spread in our schools and buildings. All students will participate in classes virtually, and most staff will work remotely from April 12-16. School will follow the regular school hours and schedule, but all instruction will be via Zoom. Students should use their teacher’s regular Zoom classroom link and follow additional instructions posted to Google Classroom. Staff and students who are traveling are encouraged to follow these guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
