Hope to see everyone there!

APS Special Board Meeting was tonight at 7:00pm. A motion was made by Vice President Wahlstrom and seconded by Board Member Cloud. The motion was as following: I make a motion that Alexander Public School District acknowledges and will encourage the ND Department of Health's Executive Order #2020-08 along with the Governor's Executive Order #2020-43. The Alexander School District is not an enforcement agency of mandates therefore APS, including administration and teachers, will not police the use of masks being worn or not worn in school or on school transportion. Currently, according to the APS Handbook, administration can contact the proper enforcement agency if they deem necessary for a violation of law. It is then up to the local law enforcement to respond accordingly. Motion was carried unanimously.
The school will be organizing a Giving Tree once again this Christmas Season. This project helps our Comet families in need. All families that are needing some help are invited to fill out a form (for just the kids or all members) and return to the office. All information is confidential for both the givers and the recipients. Giving Tree Forms can be accessed, completed and returned online following the link below and forms were sent home with grades PK-6th on November 13th. Giving Tree Forms are due November 25th.
