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

Mother’s Day is celebrated to honor, appreciate, and recognize the love, sacrifices, and contributions of mothers and mother figures. Founded in the U.S. by Anna Jarvis in 1908 to honor her mother’s legacy, it was officially declared a national holiday in 1914 to recognize the essential role mothers play in families and society.

School Communicators Day, celebrated annually on the second Friday in May honors the school public relations professionals and staff who manage crucial communication between schools, families, and the community. It recognizes their work in promoting student stories, managing crises, and increasing school transparency
