APR Community Connections
September 2021 Edition
Fall and Cool Weather Is Just Around the Corner
This fall season, APR has many new clubs and activities for our students. Please continue to read announcements from the school and visit our website periodically (www.duvalschools.org/aprtech) to remain in the know of all activities available to our students.
APR remains committed to APR's School Plan announced at our SAC meeting last month (please see below for meeting minutes and the power point). Thank YOU to the parents who joined us and provided input of how to continuously improve APR. Please review the information below and feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. Our amazing APR team is ready to help you! Our next SAC meeting is Thursday, September 30th at 5PM.
Here and around the world, we can expect that the ups and downs of cases of COVID-19 will go on for some time. In the past few weeks there have been some increases in cases of COVID-19 in local schools around the Jacksonville area, especially among young adults. In response, we have decided to present Open House virtually. I hope you join us this Monday, September 13th at 5:30PM. Open House will begin on our website with a school video welcoming all stakeholders to an engaging evening of meeting the faculty and staff of APR.
Let's continue this positive momentum as WE "Build OUR Tomorrow!" I hope to see you on Monday! Go Jaguars!!
Respectfully,
Megan McKinney
