Pack Your Child's Bag for College & Career Success! Explore their Backpack Checklist!

For every grade, every APS student will have a backpack checklist to monitor his or her progress. It is important for families to collaborate with staff and community members to help every student shape a successful future, starting as early as preschool. To encourage more of these conversations, we developed a College and Career Success Backpack checklist for families. 

• Explore the APS Backpack Checkists.

Families naturally want their students to succeed. Research shows that students whose families are involved in their education find it easier to be successful.
