The big day is almost here! Will you be joining us at the 2024 APS 5K and Character Fun Run this Saturday, September 7?

Student Entrepreneur Expo

Join us in supporting our student business owners, who will showcase their goods and services at the Student Entrepreneur Expo on Thursday, September 12, at the Center for Learning and Leadership from 4-6:30 p.m. as we celebrate Minority Business Opportunity Week. For more information, please contact Brent Bailey at bbaily@atlanta.k12.ga.us.

Attendance Awareness Month

September is Attendance Awareness Month, underscoring that regular school attendance is directly linked to academic success. Make every day count because missing 2 days of school each month means a child misses 10% of the school year. With that in mind, please help us congratulate the winners of the Attendance Awareness Month Poster Contest!

Hispanic College and Career Event

Hispanic Heritage Month is an opportunity to celebrate the rich cultural heritage and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities. As part of the celebration, we’re hosting a Hispanic College and Career Event at Agape on September 28 from 2 to 4 p.m. This event will provide valuable resources and information to students and families about college admissions, scholarships, and career opportunities specifically tailored to support our Hispanic community.

We Want You to Be A Part of the Plan

We invite you to join Superintendent Dr. Bryan Johnson at Virginia Highland Elementary School on September 16 at 6 p.m. for the first Community Listening Session, where you will have the opportunity to share your voice and ideas. Spanish interpretation will be available. Click HERE to register. Together, let's create a stronger foundation for our schools and community!

If you see something, Say Something. APS student safety is of paramount concern. Everyone can report bullying or any safety concern anonymously online using the Say Something website, app, or hotline (1-844-5-SayNow).
