📢We have great news! 😃
To streamline our Out-Of-Zone (OOZ) process for returning students and to provide our families with more peace of mind, we have replaced the full annual application with a simplified Letter of Intent. 📝
📱For current OOZ students in grades K–4, 6, and 7, who have been pre-approved, parents/guardians will receive a Letter of Intent via the guardian's email listed in PowerSchool beginning today. If you expect a letter and don't receive one this week, please call Let's Talk! 575-812-8573 starting Tuesday, February 17. 💻
💫Here are a few exceptions:
▪️Students transitioning to Middle School: Please note that all current 5th-grade students moving to 6th grade next year must complete a new Out-of-Zone application if they are requesting an OOZ school.
▪️All new students to APS and incoming 6th graders will complete the OOZ application.
▪️If you are returning to APS but have not previously completed an OOZ application, you will complete a new application as well.
✨The application window for new requests will open on March 2nd.✨

Tomorrow is Pack the Bus Day!
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.
🚌Tomorrow, Wednesday, February 11th, if your child is a bus rider, please help us provide an accurate count by having them ride the bus. 🚌

🐮✨ Throwback Tuesday continues! Let’s jump back to the day Mrs. Ham brought a very special guest to school… sweet Miss Maizey the cow!
Our students were all smiles as they learned about farm life, asked great questions, and got up close with this gentle visitor. Moments like these make learning unforgettable and fill our halls with joy. 🩵
Thanks, Mrs. Ham (and Miss Maizey!) for making such a memorable day for our Wolves! 🐾
