001Welcome back. School starts on Monday, August 25th. We cannot wait to see our students. We're ready to soar to new heights together this school year. This year, our theme is strength and unity and we're all working together to foster strong and resilient school communities. We are guided by our 2024 2030 strategic plan and we're focused on continuing our path to provide safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environments for all of our students. Together, we are going to engage our community partners and volunteers in new ways for our students. We're going to further strengthen school safety and security, improve staff engagement to retain and recruit the highest quality teachers, staff, and talent, and we're going to employ new attendance strategies this year to keep students in school where they will learn and thrive. We're going to expand mental health services and afterchool programs and drive ongoing growth for all of our students to continue to close gaps in reading and math. We at APS are committed to ensuring that every student, no matter who they are, has access to a world-class education. We're continuing our focus on knowing every student by name, strength, and need and helping them achieve new goals. Our dedicated teachers and staff are here for you every step of the way. Thank you for your partnership. Let's soar to new heights together this school year. See you soon.
