Be Here Day is this Wednesday, February 11th! 😍
All of our schools will have incentives, challenges, or activities to encourage students to prioritize attendance and to celebrate Be Here Day! The APS Student Nutrition team will provide a special treat for every student at lunch! And the Communications Team is providing stickers! Plus, February 11th is #PacktheBusDay! If your child is a bus rider, please help us provide an accurate snapshot of our ridership by having them ride the bus on that day. Every student riding that day will also receive a special Valentine!💫💌

Did you know? 🚌On the 80th & 120th day of school, APS captures a snapshot of the bus ridership to report to NMPED. The information collected on this day is very important and impacts the funding our district receives for transportation. Transportation funding not only supports students' daily rides to and from school, it can also support in-district school field trips.
🚌On Wednesday, February 11th, if your child is a bus rider, please help us provide an accurate count by having them ride the bus. 🚌 Save the date!
