An American Preparatory Academy School
Our students had the opportunity to attend an assembly with a world famous author. Brandon Mull, author of the “Fablehaven”, “Candy Shop War”, and “Five Kingdoms” series, visited our school on the afternoon of September 28th, 2016. Our 3rd through 7th grade students were excited to hear about what it takes to become a writer and how one can use their imagination in the writing process. It was an event that will be remembered for years to come!

Help students to raise funds for the students in the Draper APA Band! All funds raised will go towards tour expenses to San Francisco’s Davies Hall, where the band was invited to compete for a national ranking at the Heritage of Gold Music Festival.
Carpool numbers have been assigned and emailed. Please check your email as soon as possible. Starting Monday, you will need to have your carpool number visibly posted. We are excited to see you then!
In order to manage the 600+ families in the carpool each afternoon, we hold two dismissals each afternoon. First dismissal is at 3:10 pm on M, T, and F and 2:10 pm on W, TH. Second dismissal is at 3:35 pm, M, T, and F, and 2:35 pm on W, TH. Second dismissal provides the opportunity for elementary students to receive focused academic attention, not to be confused with the secondary study hall setting.
Dismissal times are assigned by family, not by individual students and apply to the entire week, not specific days within the week. In addition, if you belong to a neighborhood carpool group, all students/families in that group are assigned the same dismissal and curb.
Students will receive their schedules, find their classes, and meet the staff. This is also secondary picture day so students are required to come in full uniform. Don’t forget, Summer Stay Sharp packets are due on these days.
August 12th 9:30 am-12:00 pm
All K-6th grade students are invited to come and meet their new teacher and visit with classmates for a few minutes. If you cannot attend Elementary Meet and Greet, class lists and teacher assignments will remain posted on the front doors. Please don’t call the office for this information as the office staff does not have teacher lists. Don’t forget, Summer Stay Sharp packets are due on this day.

This meeting is for parents only.
August 24th 6:30 pm-8:30 pm

Our semi-annual uniform sale will be held at Draper 1 on August 10th, 11th and 12th from 9-3. Used items as well as True value brand new uniforms will be available for purchase.

LOCATION CHANGE! Now at Draper 2 due to high wind forecast.
Please come and enjoy the evening with our APA family at our Fun Run! Runners and participants will be celebrated with race food, fun, dunk tanks and much more. Subway will be offering $4.00 meals that include a 6-inch, ham, turkey or vegetarian sandwich with chips and water.

We just wanted to take the opportunity to thank everyone for our most successful sock drive ever! Between all five campuses we collected 16,405 pair of socks! That’s a lot of warm toes this winter! Our student councils were able to deliver the socks to the shelters and it was so inspiring to share the generosity of our APA family with families in need.
We put together a fabulous video about this event to share with all our students. You can view this video on our Ambassador Facebook page or the Ambassador Website at https://ambassadors.americanprep.org/videos/. Thank you again for participating in this great APA tradition!
