Wednesday 9/9/26 Bus 24C, the Swan in the Hinks area will not be running for afternoon routes only for all grades. The morning routes will be running as usual.

Have you ever wondered how our school lunch menus are created? Curious about what goes into deciding a snow day? Or perhaps you’ve been puzzled by terms like "collective bargaining agreement" or wondered why the district can’t purchase gifts for staff?
If so, we invite you to participate in our new "ASK APS" initiative. This is your chance to ask the questions that matter to you. Each month, we’ll select questions that are intriguing, timely, or widely relevant to answer in the Superintendent's Update, Central Office communications, school newsletters, or even at Board meetings.
While we may not be able to address every question, we’re committed to answering as many as we can.
Please note: This form is not intended for questions specific to individual students or situations. For those, please reach out directly to your child’s teacher or principal.
Rest assured, your submissions are completely anonymous—no contact information is collected

APS Athletics athletic app provides a single, unified digital platform to strengthen communication, enhance safety, improve engagement, and streamline access to athletic information for students, families, staff, and the broader school community—across all sports, and all seasons. This project aligns with the stated goals of the APS Strategic Plan Pillar IV as it helps to support our partnership with our families as well as utilizes and enhances our districts' community partnerships.
The athletic department will fund it moving forward with a $15 fee per athlete each year. The smartphone app is available for free download by searching “Alpena Wildcats” at the Apple Store or Google Play and is customizable for the user’s preferences.

Happy Labor Day!
Labor Day honors the contributions of American workers and is celebrated on the first Monday of September.
The first Labor Day parade took place on September 5, 1882, in New York City, with roughly 10,000 workers marching.
President Grover Cleveland signed it into law as a federal holiday in 1894, following the Pullman Strike.
