ImportantInformation for Parents

We are grateful to parents for following the Super Six protocols to protect their student's and school's health. With numerous cases in the district and community, please take care to do the following. 

• Pre-screen your child daily using the district questionnaire
• Keep all students home if anyone in the household shows symptoms or tests (+)
• Let your principal know ASAP if there's a case in your household or student and answer the call from a school nurse 
• Understand that despite all efforts at physical distancing, your student may need to quarantine based on a classroom case. WCHD determines details of any quarantine needed. 
• Contact your school nurse with questions - bit.ly/NurseCareCorner

AAPS Summer School Opportunities

The AAPS Elementary Remote Learning Expeditions are learning opportunities for students in grades Y5, K, 1, 2, 3, and 4 and were created to honor and leverage the knowledge, skills, and abilities that all families bring to student learning. The program's ultimate goal is to engage students in new and exciting ways.  While students are learning, they will also be participating in a game!  Each adventure provides authentic learning connected to grade level goals and objectives with the opportunity to earn badges.
