Parents – Aurora Public Schools

Current Status: APS CLOSED

APS is CLOSED TODAY, Feb. 25

Due to weather conditions, all Aurora Public Schools buildings and sites as well as Pickens Technical College will be closed today. Remote Learning is also cancelled for today. In the interest of safety, staff and students should stay home. We are cancelling remote learning because we did not provide advanced notice of the potential closure as noted under our new protocol.

All APS day and evening events and activities have been cancelled for today. Please note that grab-and-go meals will not be available today.

If your child attends an APS charter school, please check in with your child’s school on their status.

Debido a las condiciones climáticas, todos los edificios y centros del Distrito de las Escuelas Públicas de Aurora y Pickens Technical College estarán cerrados el día de hoy. El aprendizaje en línea, también se cancela el día de hoy. Por motivos de seguridad, los estudiantes y miembros del personal deberán quedarse en casa. El aprendizaje en línea se cancela hoy, debido a que no les avisamos con suficiente anticipación sobre el cierre de las escuelas, tal como indicado bajo nuestro nuevo protocolo.

Se cancelan todos los eventos y actividades de APS, diurnos y nocturnos, programados para el día de hoy. El día de hoy no se repartirán las comidas para llevar (grab-and-go).

Si su hijo asiste a una escuela chárter de APS, deberá consultar con la escuela para saber el horario.

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.
