We're so excited to welcome families for our APA Elementary Veterans Day Program today at 2pm. Doors open at 1:30pm.

We are proud to honor our veterans today and every day.

Today is the LAST DAY to donate through APA’s National Honor Society donation drive!

If you’ve been meaning to donate, there’s still time! Donations collected through NHS today will earn students 3 hours of community service.

Donations will still be accepted in the collection box located in the 29th Street front office through December 5, but donations made after today will not qualify for community service hours.

All donations collected through NHS will be turned in at the conclusion of today’s drive.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed and helped support this effort! Please email cmoore@goapa.org with questions.

Did you know that breakfast (and lunch) at APA is FREE for ALL students?

That’s right! Every single student can pick up a hot meal for breakfast and lunch daily for free.
We hope to see you in line tomorrow!

Congratulations to APA Kindergartener, Spencer Harter, for winning the 2026 Walk-A-Thon bike! Spencer won the honor of most money raised by raising $854! Great job, Spencer and family! We are so grateful to all families who made the 2026 Walk-A-Thon our best one yet! We were able to raise over $8,000 which will allow every single cadet to go on two field trips this year at NO COST to them. We couldn’t do it without you and are so grateful. #MakeYourDreamsTakeFlight

Proud to connect all our families on ParentSquare 🎉

Through the efforts of Capt. Stottlemyer, Capt. Figel, and Capt. Rue, APA now has a 100% contactability rate on ParentSquare! This is something we're super proud of because that means we can reach 100% of our families via ParentSquare! We've been hovering at the 96%-98% rate for a few months trying to get those last few corrected.

Thank you so much to staff and families for making communication a priority within your child's education.

• If you cannot log into ParentSquare or you are having difficulties with it, please reach out to Capt. Rue at brue@goapa.org with questions.
• If you'd like to update your contact information with APA, please reach out to our registrar, Capt. Figel at afigel@goapa.org.
