SCHOOL LUNCH MENUS ON APP
For those parents who use the app to check school lunch menus, a change was made before Thanksgiving Break and menus are again available on each school's portion of the app. For some reason, the menus had just been populated to the APSD section of the app. From now on, you should be able to locate the school lunch menus on your respective school's page on the app. Normal procedure is for menus to be uploaded for the entire month at the beginning of the month.
APSD Utilizing AMI Days Again in 2018-19; PLEASE Update Contact Info. at Respective Campuses If You've Changed Numbers
AMI days allow school district to potentially not have to add extra days to the end of the school calendar in late May and early June.
APSD will use phone and text notifications as well as social media and traditional media to notify families of cancellations. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION ON FILE WITH YOUR CHILD OR CHILDREN'S RESPECTIVE CAMPUS IS UP TO DATE.
