April 2024 APS Superintendent Update
April 2, 2024
State Testing Starts Soon
Beginning this month, students in grades 3 through 11 will undertake the M-STEP, PSAT, and/or SAT exams. Essential details regarding testing schedules and useful strategies for student success are being disseminated through your school's weekly newsletter. Keep an eye out for this information. Remember, it is very important for students to be well rested and put forth their best effort for these assessments. The results gleaned from these tests offer valuable insights for students, parents, and the district in gauging academic progress.
Listening to Our Students, Community, and Staff
Recently, our school district has been actively engaged in two significant activities to garner feedback from our community and staff. First, we've been formulating a strategic plan for the district, with input from students, community members, and staff playing a pivotal role in this process. Second, in January, we conducted the Rehmann Employee Engagement survey, yielding invaluable insights into the experiences of our staff within the district. Using the feedback from this survey, we will take targeted action to continuously improve the work experience for our employees. For a bit more on our strategic plan and the findings of the Rehmann Employee Engagement survey, please see my guest column in the March 18th edition of the Alpena News.
March is Reading Month
Thank you to all the staff and volunteers whose dedication and hard work made March is Reading Month an extraordinary success this year! From meticulously planning engaging in-school and after-school activities to generously donating time and resources, and even stepping up as "celebrity readers," your contributions were invaluable. We are sincerely appreciative of your steadfast support and dedication. Thank you immensely!
Transportation Update
We are excited to see a decrease in cancellations lately! This is fantastic news for our families. With a couple of additional drivers now on board, and with my road test on the horizon, things are looking up!
Solar Eclipse
On Monday, April 8th, Alpena will experience a solar eclipse. The timing of the eclipse presents some challenges for our students, staff, and families. Although the eclipse will reach its peak after the Junior High and High School dismiss (3:15 pm), our elementary schools will still be in session. Besser, Lincoln, and Ella White will be nearing dismissal time, whereas Hinks, Sanborn, and Wilson will still have over an hour remaining in their school day.
We urge everyone to exercise the utmost caution on April 8th, whether viewing the eclipse or arriving at school to pick up students.
