live stream schedule for next two weeks

The last couple of weeks of school give us several programs, concerts,and events throughout the district and we hope to be able to bring as many of those to you as possibly both live and recorded on the APSD-TV YouTube Channel. See the image below for the live stream schedule for the next two weeks.


As a disclaimer, we would warn you that these are our plans, but we're a the mercy of technology. We have had success the majority of the times we have live streamed events this year, but we have had a few hiccups. If we encounter issues, we'll post on the respective pages. Here's to smooth sailing with technology over the next two weeks so we can bring these program to family members who can't make the events!

FREE SUMMER MEALS!

Families need to take a look at the flier below for information on the APSD Food Service summer lunch program! (Click the image to see a bigger version.)


Take advantage of this service provided FREE OF CHARGE for ALL children 18 and under.

SCHOOL LUNCH MENUS ON APP

The school lunch menus are located on the official APSD App (available in the App Store and on Google Play) as well as the link below on the APSD website (just click the image below the next paragraph).


If you have not been able to access the menus the last couple of weeks on the app, please select the option that says "All" instead of the options of "This Week" or "Next Week". This option and the website will have the menus for the rest of the month of April. We are working to find out why the menus might not be displaying correctly on the weekly options on the app.
