Fall Free Youth Programming from Rec & Ed

Ann Arbor Rec & Ed staff are excited to announce a new line-up of FREE online and in-person classes for AAPS preschool - 8th graders. Our goal is to provide a variety of fun, physically active experiences with opportunities to see classmates safely in person. A complete listing of programs will be available at https://www.aarecedonline.com/freeyouthclasses  And we also have some new fee-based programs, including a "Scavenger Hunt/Ecology Walk" -- see all that's available here: https://www.aarecedonline.com/youth-enrichment-classes.


Screenagers Next Chapter: Uncovering Skills for Stress Resilience

With funding provided by the Miles Jeffrey Roberts Foundation, and with support from the Washtenaw ISD and Washtenaw County Community Mental Health, the AAPS is providing all families with the opportunity to view Screenagers Next Chapter: Uncovering Skills for Stress Resilience. For more information, please see the district’s website, or CLICK HERE to register for on-demand access to the documentary.  Due to the content of the documentary, it is intended for students in grades 6-12. You may also register to view the original Screenagers documentary which may be more suited for younger children (e.g. 4th/5th grade). 

AAPS invites you to attend a Facebook Live event on Tuesday, January 12, 2021, at 7:00 PM. This event will feature mental health professionals and educators from across the county speak to the documentary and the local supports and resources for students and families. Complete details about this event will be shared when we return from winter break, but mark your calendar now!

I want to remind you that the contact information for the members of our school's student support team is listed on our school webpage. If your student or family is ever in need of immediate and urgent support, here are two resources: Washtenaw County Community Mental Health - Crisis Line: 734-544-3050 and Ozone House - Crisis Line: 734-662-2222.​​​​​​​
