We Wish You Well, Ms. Kaitlyn
Today we danced into Spring Break while wishing Ms. Kaitlyn well on her new adventure. She will be moving over the break to an early childhood consultant position and we are so excited for her. Ms. Kaitlyn is an amazing teacher and a joy to work with...she will be missed. If you would like to send well wishes to her at her new position, drop off any cards or artwork or letters at the front office and we will make sure they get to her new location! Keep shining, Ms. Kaitlyn!

APS Field Day June 3: Details Coming SOON
Get some rest this week & don't forget to support your friends & family!
Remember that everyone is having lots emotions about the end of school (that's true on a normal year...and this is far from normal). Spend some one on one time with your child, talking, laughing, playing. It is important for your health and theirs. You've got this...and so do they. Make some connections, plan some summer events or play dates. The APS family you have now doesn't have to end. Enjoy your last quarter with those you love and adore!
