WASH YOUR HANDS, WAIT AT A DISTANCE, WEAR A FACE COVERING
We are helping to keep you safe by:
- using daily protocols for cleaning and sanitizing each room
- saying no to volunteers or guest speakers for now
- rescheduling field trips
You can:
- practice hand washing and mask wearing (on the nose and under the chin)
- keep students home when they have symptoms (even MILD ones)
- limit group gatherings to help limit the spread in your own neighborhood
THANKS for helping us keep it safe at APS. If your child is a close contact, you will be contacted with instructions on quarantining. If you are not asked to quarantine, your child can come to school as long as there are no symptoms. If you are asked to quarantine, your absences will be excused. If you choose to quarantine your family, the absence will not be excused (but we totally understand). Children and adults that are just out of quarantine, will be asked to wear a mask during outside time for Days 6-10. Please talk to your child if this is the case, since other students may not have this same restriction.
If you have any questions, please let us know.

Review of Enrollment Information and Links to Forms:
Current Kindergarten - 4th Grade School Selection Form
If your child is a current Asheville Primary Kindergarten - 4th Grader, please know that your family has the opportunity to complete your child’s School Selection Form now - Friday, February 25th. This form is how we will learn more about your school preference, as families will rank their school choices 1st through 5th for 2022-2023.
Additionally, please know the February 25th deadline will allow the enrollment team to assess the numbers and go before the Board of Education. At this time, our recommendation will be to give priority placement to APS students at the school of their choice before placing other students.
Current Pre-K School Selection
Current Asheville Primary Pre-K students will complete their applications for the 2022 - 2023 school year during the district’s regular open enrollment window. This year, open enrollment begins on February 7th and ends on March 14th. Additional information can be found here.
School Videos
To support your family’s selection process, videos that showcase each of our 2022 - 2023 elementary schools and highlight their unique magnet themes can be found here.
