Keep an eye out here - our web address will be the same! - and on our socials for membership information later this summer!

 Nominate a teacher or staff member for APS All Stars!

APS is highlighting five outstanding staff members each month to recognize the many ways staff make a difference in our community and to highlight their great work.

These individuals demonstrate excellence in collaboration, equity, inclusivity, integrity, innovation and stewardship. They are the members of the community who are the first to pitch in, who bring a positive attitude to their work, and go above and beyond to support their colleagues, and to serve students and families.

They also embrace the mission and vision of APS to ensure all students learn and thrive in safe, healthy and supportive learning environments.

All employees are eligible for nomination. These are employees who make a difference and contribute to creating an inclusive, supportive learning community that empowers all students, no matter their role or position.
