Parents and Guardians, the APS Strategic Planning Survey was emailed this afternoon through SchoolMessenger. Please complete the survey by Wednesday, October 16.
π£ We need the community's input as well! Take the short survey today!
π» We are excited to share various opportunities for you to help shape the future of Alamogordo schools. APS and your School Board are committed to aligning school programs with our world, thereby developing learners who will become engaged and productive citizens. We have partnered with Learner-Centered Collaborative (LCC), to support the design of a Framework for the Future and Strategic Plan.Β Once we know what we aspire to, we can create a 3-5 year strategic plan to ensure we can accomplish what we have defined as essential.Β
