WV2 & WV3 ★
We will be conducting vision screenings for all students on April 19th and 26th at the WV2 and 3 Campus. The students will be given a distance vision test to see if they can see at a 20/30 level. We will notify you of the results of the test. If a student fails, you will receive a referral letter with more instructions.
Vision screening is not a substitute for an eye examination by an eye care specialist, and it is important that your child see an eye care specialist once a year to evaluate eye health.
If you do not wish your child to participate in the screening program, please EMAIL nurse@apamail.org (EXEMPTIONS ONLY). We need LOTS of parent volunteers to assist with vision screenings. A short 5 minute training is provided, and this is a great way to get in your volunteer hours! This is not a volunteer opportunity that will work to bring small children.
Please contact Karen Thelin kthelin@apamail.org 801-494-7446 with questions or if you are available to volunteer.

NC Marks in Secondary/Attendance School: As a reminder, if a student has more than three tardies (T marks) in a class their grade turns to an NC or no credit mark and they do not receive credit fo the class unless they remove tardies through attending Saturday school. Likewise, if they have more than three unexcused absences (X marks) where they missed class but a parent did not notify us of the absence they would receive an NC mark until it is recovered through attending Saturday school. Please refer to the parent/student handbook for specifics about how to remove T and X marks. Saturday school is always from 8am until 11am. Students must arrive prior to 8am (doors lock at 8am and will not be opened) and must be picked up by 11am. Our next Saturday school offerings will be:

Sistema Notes ♪
It is hard to believe that we are halfway through March! Please read through this entire email so that you have the programming dates for the remainder of March. Our schedule is a little atypical since we have a lot going on around the school.
Please be checking your child’s Alma regularly so that you know if they have any missing work. The end of term is quickly approaching and all missing work needs to be turned in by the end of next week. That also means that our no missing homework incentive will be at the end of this month before we leave for Spring Break.
We have been working hard to learn our pieces for our end-of-year concert in May – hooray! Please ensure that your child attends their Sistema classes daily, so they don’t fall behind in their classes. If your child is sick or has a previously scheduled appointment during afterschool hours, please call the Sistema office to let us know 385-351-3090 x 1139 or email Mrs. Christensen tchristensen@apamail.org. Each student has been invited to a Google classroom for instrument and singing classes. If your child has to miss Sistema or would like to practice at home, they can pull up their respective Google classroom at home. This can be accessed through their APA student email account.
Our schedule for the rest of this month is as follows:
- March 21: No Sistema – Professional Development – Elementary dismissal at 12:25 p.m.
- March 22: No Sistema – Staff Appreciation Luncheon
- March 29: Bring Bach Bucks to Sistema to turn in
- March 30: Bach Buck Store
- March 31: No missing homework incentive
- April 3-7: No School/No Sistema – Spring Break
