NEW: Carpool Reminder
Thank you to all who consistently follow procedure and safety instructions for carpool, you are truly
most appreciated! As a reminder, the East parking lot, does not belong to APA Draper 1 and therefore is not allowed to be used for parking or driving through for carpool at any time. We will be placing carpool attendants there to remind you, and ensure you go back out and follow the proper driveways. Thank you for your help.
NEW: 2021 Spelling BEE
It's almost time for our 2021 Scripps National Spelling Bee competition! Participation in the spelling bee is completely optional for off campus students, it is not mandatory. All students in class will participate in the grade level classroom bees on the week of Feb. 8-12, and the top 2 spellers from each classroom will advance to the 1st-3rd grade School Bee on Thursday, February 25th at 1pm or the 4th-6th grade School Bee on Friday, February 26th at 1:15pm.
If you have an off-campus student who would like to compete in the spelling bee, they must be able/willing to come into school in full uniform and participate in the classroom bee. If they are one of the top 2 spellers in the classroom bee, then they will also need to be able/willing to participate in the school wide bees in full school uniform on the 25th or 26th of February. Here is the classroom bee schedule. Please be sure to come to your students assigned On Campus Teacher date/time. If you do not know who that is, contact your Off-Campus teacher to help you.
