Please complete re-enrollment by Friday, April 15.
Here is a video that shows you how to complete the process.
Here are some screen shots with helpful tips:
An American Preparatory Academy School
Every year at American Preparatory Academy we have a speech festival. This gives all students a chance to practice their speaking skills. Students will be given a two-minute window to perform a speech or poem for their peers. Every student will be required to perform in class and then one student from each class will be chosen to perform at the school-wide festival.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, please email your student’s homeroom teacher.
Dear Parents,
Our curriculum order has been delayed, so we are postponing our Term 5 materials pick up until after Spring Break. We anticipate it will be on April 13 from 11:00 am – 12:30 pm in the multipurpose room.
In the newsletter I posted a link for the annual parent survey, however, none of the off campus teachers were listed. Because the programs were so different, we are preparing a separate survey for our off campus families to complete. We anticipate it will be ready in a few weeks. If you have already completed the survey, that’s fine! If you haven’t, you can wait until we have a survey specifically for you.
Thank you!

Draper 2 Administrative Director
Dear Off Campus Parents,
Thank you for your request to return to campus for Term 5! We are so excited to have your student back on campus with us.
We will expect your student on Monday, April 12 at 8:30 am. It is very helpful if you come a little later, so we can get your student checked in and oriented.
Please Bring
Parents should come to the lobby to receive the Pick Up tag, and then our staff will escort students to the classrooms.

Dear Draper 2 Parents,
This afternoon the Draper 3 APA administrators were made aware of a bomb threat that was written on a bathroom stall. Out of an abundance of caution, the D3 students were evacuated to the Draper 2 gym and local law enforcement came to “clear” the school. We anticipated this might impact our afternoon pick up, but the building was quickly cleared and declared safe. The police did not find this to be a credible threat. The Draper 3 students returned to their campus and our afternoon pick up concluded with minimal delays. Students at the Draper 2 campus were not impacted by the event – classes continued normally and they were dismissed at the regular time.
We are grateful to our amazing Draper 3 staff, students, and parents for their calm and appropriate response to today’s incident. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. Have a wonderful weekend!

P.S. I apologize to those getting duplicate notifications – both campuses sent follow-up emails to parents.
If your student wants to bring the luck o’ the Irish to school, please follow these dressing guidelines:
While some people enjoy the game of pinching those not wearing green, our “no touching” policy includes pinching. Please remind your students to refrain from pinching others at school.

Dear Off Campus Parents and Students,
As we prepare for our standardized state testing which will be done on campus from April 19 to 30 for grades 3-6, we wanted to provide an opportunity for your students to practice taking tests on the computers. We want to give them every advantage offered to our on-campus students, who had a chance to do the practice tests last term.
If you would like to bring your student(s) to school for up to 4 (four) practice sessions, please sign up here:

Thank you!

No human being is perfect. We ALL make mistakes – and that’s totally okay! Showing each other that it’s okay to admit that we made a mistake, taking the opportunity to admit we were wrong, then we always have options to make amends and try to do better the next time. We need to be willing to humble ourselves and follow these steps when we make a mistake.

Parents can purchase the limited-edition spirit-wear t-shirt for themselves or their students.

We are so excited this year for our Staff Appreciation Week. We will have 5 outstanding days to thank our staff for the wonderful work and tireless dedication to our students, even during the most challenging circumstance. We have picked a destination theme for each day:
We would like to send a BIG THANK YOU to the many parents who are decorating doors for our Staff:
The door decorating makes our Staff feel so special and loved. THANK YOU to ALL of our parents who are bringing special treats each day as well. Our staff will really feel your love and appreciation.
School Pictures and Yearbook Orders
We are working with our photographer to schedule photo retakes (including all off-campus students) and class pictures after Spring Break. We will also open up yearbook orders at that time.
Great news! We are responding to updates from the state regarding COVID-19 restrictions. Our students no longer have to wear a mask during recess. We also no longer have to limit the number of people in a room as long as everyone is wearing a mask. This will allow us to resume live assemblies! We are so excited because this means we can move forward with our traditional Builder of the Year and Memorial Day assemblies!
For all of our 6th-grade students who will be going into 7th grade at D3 in the fall; Draper 3 has set up the below dates for parents to take a tour. A tour is OPTIONAL and the student does NOT need to attend. This is a perfect time to ask questions, see the building and help you decide where you want to be next year.
