Building AAPS Connections, Community & Awareness  - Seeking Campaign Advisory Committee Members
The Ann Arbor Public Schools is seeking advisory committee members to recommend, review and support a campaign to help build awareness, community and connections to retain and attract students to our schools.
The advisory group will consist of approximately 15 people who will support the AAPS Team in developing and implementing a campaign that will revitalize district enrollment. Anyone in the community is encouraged to apply, regardless of experience.

Marketing, public relations, graphic design and communication experience are a plus but not necessary. We are looking for current students, alumni, staff, parents/guardians and community members who are dedicated to the success of AAPS.

Click here to apply to the advisory group.

 

My Future Fund Account Update
AAPS is excited for our continued partnership with My Future Fund. Families should be on the lookout for their students’ My Future Fund Account login information via email on May 7th. Eligible 2nd-6th grade students have FREE money in their accounts to jump start their savings for college and career training.

The My Future Fund program is operated by the Washtenaw Intermediate School District in collaboration with the Washtenaw County Government. Please visit myfuturefund.org for more information.

Lost and Found (With Photo)

Our lost and found is overflowing! If you see an item that belongs to your child, please send them to pick it up or feel free to stop by before school or after school to grab it. 

In-District Transfer and School of Choice Window - Last Week to Apply

The second In-District Transfer (IDT) window and the first School of Choice (SOC) window is now open. Applications are being accepted from April 16-May 10.
