As is traditional at APA, we present a Builder of the Year Award to one student from each grade as well as some of our outstanding staff members and volunteers.  This is the most prestigious award within our APA community, and it’s difficult to select a recipient. As a community of builders, we see many examples of excellence in building from so many in our student body and staff.

The purpose of this assembly is to honor and celebrate the “builder” in each of us and most importantly the feelings of joy that come from showing care and concern every day.  We respect, admire, and appreciate each and every one of our students and staff for the effort they put forth. Thank you for the encouragement and support you give your students each day.

Congratulations to our 2015 Builders of Year!

A huge THANK YOU to our parents and students for sharing their time and talents

to make us feel special during Staff Appreciation Week!

 

We loved the feeling of community you created with the decorations and the doors!

   

We are spoiled by your home-cooked, delicious meals and tasty treats!
You even pampered us with massages that relaxed our tired muscles and cleared our minds!

Most of all, your recognition boosts our spirits and our motivation to do what’s best for kids. We sincerely appreciate your energetic efforts. Our school becomes a better place every day when parents like you are there to strengthen us!

During January our secondary students have the opportunity to choose three courses from the Winterim catalog designed to take them deeper into subject areas as well as explore areas that are not covered in their daily curriculum.

Students thoroughly enjoyed themselves as they studied things such as improv acting, robotics, Capoeira, birds, mock trial, song writing, etc.

They conclude their experience with an assembly where they share all that they have learned.

Our 4th – 8th grade Super Spellers came together to represent their classes at the School Spelling Bee January 21st to compete for Draper 2 representative positions. The students competed well and used great spelling strategies to spell some very tough and tricky English words. Thank you to all our parents who support our students as they work hard to get smarter and develop great character along the way. We appreciate all the work ALL of our students put forth in doing their best for the Classroom Bees as well as the School Bee.

We are please to announce the following students will represent Draper 2 at the District Spelling Bee on February 3rd at our West Valley 1 campus.

• Griffin Stewart (7th grade)
• Erin Floresca (8th grade)
• Henry Zheng (4th grade)

Re Enrollment

In accordance with Board of Education policy, we are now accepting applications for currently enrolled students to re enroll for the 2015-16 school year. In accordance with the policy, students that do not notify American Prep at this time that they intend to withdraw and enroll in a District School or another Charter School MAY BE DENIED ADMISSION TO THE DISTRICT OR OTHER CHARTER SCHOOL. Your honesty at this time is much appreciated.
