The APS Board of Education approved a motion during their meeting last night to transition all APS students to fully remote learning for the rest of this semester. This includes all students who are currently learning in person (preschool and Kindergarten, students with special needs, newcomer students and Pickens Technical College students). This transition will start after Thanksgiving Break. The final day for in-person learning this semester will be Thursday, November 19.

APS Decision Matrix Data Update
Posted 10/13/2020
En Español
We continue to review our decision matrix regularly. It pulls data on public health measures that are available on the CDPHE and/or Tri-County Health Department websites. It also considers health data specific to our community, school and district conditions. Based on the current available data, APS will now be on “watch status” and closely monitor data over the next two weeks and make a decision no later than Thursday, Oct. 22 if we need to transition to a different learning model.
