🚌Hey Bus Riders, Let's Pack the Bus on Wednesday, February 11th! 🚌

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!

Our students know the secret to success:

"Super Phonics makes us Super Readers!"

🎣✏️ Pre-K Learning in Action! ✨
Our Pre-K students have been having so much fun with multisensory learning activities! From fishing for letters to strengthen letter recognition, to writing letters in the sand to build fine motor skills, our little learners are engaging all their senses while developing early literacy skills.

Hands on learning makes a big splash in Pre-K, and we love seeing our students learn through play! πŸ’™πŸ“š

Operation Starbase has officially landed back on Earth!
What an absolutely incredible experience this was. Being part of something so innovative and immersive was truly unforgettable, and having the opportunity to serve as the pilot made it even more special.

This experience challenged us, inspired us, and reminded us how powerful teamwork and imagination can be. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity and the people who made it possible.

We are already looking forward to future missions and opportunities to work together again. Until next time. Mission accomplished! πŸš€βœ¨

Our Kindergarten students spent time learning about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and why we honor MLK Day 🌈
They listened to parts of Dr. King’s famous β€œI Have a Dream” speech and talked about big ideas like kindness, fairness, and treating everyone with respect.

Through stories, discussions, and simple activities, our students learned that Dr. King dreamed of a world where everyone is included and valued ❀️ Even our youngest learners showed such thoughtful understanding and empathy as they shared their own dreams for a kind and caring world.
