An American Preparatory Academy School
What a great and interesting start to our school year. The solar eclipse celestial event was celebrated throughout the school today. We had many parents, students and staff enjoying the event many different ways. Some had special glasses, some had an extra pie plate to keep their glasses on and other parents brought in special telescopes to reflect the event onto a board to view safely. Thank you to all the parents that came in with the special viewing boxes!
As the summer comes to an end, we got to enjoy a movie night in our courtyard. Sponsored by our Family School Organization and the American Prep Education Foundation, or Friends of APA, many of our new and experienced families got to spend time socializing and getting to know each other. A special thanks to our operations team, especially Philip Miner and Mitch Benson for getting everything set up for this first time event!
The asphalt crew is busy paving our new parking lot and our driveway. Our expanded parking and new driveway is a welcome addition to our campus.
It is a very exciting time of the year and our 7th and 8th grade students coming to the school for their orientation were greeted by our fabulous Ambassador leaders, Camden Stewart and Braelyn Proctor. It was great to see all of our Jr. High students dressed for success and with all their energy. Looking forward to a great year.
Our Fabulous Family School Organization provided our staff a wonderful lunch today. Providing the meal takes a lot of work and help and we appreciate what Jen Hardy and crew did for our staff today. THANKS!
Bring your lawn chairs and blankets for a movie under the stars! Get to know our new APA families! Popcorn, snow cones, and candy available to purchase!
As we continue to get ready for the new year, there are lots of tasks that need to be accomplished. Thank you Mrs. Butler, Ms. Coble and Ms. Palmer for helping us sort our Core Knowledge and Shurley Grammar curriculum packets.
We are excited to welcome our new staff to our American Prep family! One of our traditions during pre-service training is finding out about all of our new staff. It will be an amazing team this year and we are busy training and getting ready for the upcoming year. See you soon!
We are very excited and energized for our initial teacher training for the 2017-2018 school year. Our administrative and office staff are welcoming all the teachers, instructors and support staff that will be part of our team this year. Since the opening of our high school has been delayed, we created a motto for our staff, “Flexibility at its best!” Having a positive outlook and coming together to meet the challenge of the situation is how we roll at American Prep. Thank you in advance for all your patience and understanding as we work together to share space until our new building is ready.
Our Procurement and Operations Team, Trevor, Paige, Julie and Connor are busy clearing out a warehouse space to make room for some temporary classrooms. They will be very busy over the next couple of weeks getting ready for our new school year. All their hard work in the summer heat is helping us make the best out of our current classroom situation. Thank you!
