It has been communicated to us by the director at ATC/DART that they will no longer be sending us a rider list for the afternoon.

If you have signed your student up to ride the ATC/DART bus home from school, you must contact the main office to let us know.

Thank you!

The Alma High School Student Council advisor has shared that for the Homecoming parade on Friday, September 20, the old Middle School block (Pine Ave, from Downie St. to Hastings St.) is designated as a quiet block. There will be no sirens, horns, or loud music on this section of the road. This is to provide students/adults with noise sensory sensitivity a place to watch and enjoy the parade.

Please make sure you are using and checking the APS app, Rooms. This is the way your teacher will communicate with you throughout the year about all the great things going on in your classroom. If you have any questions about the app please contact the main office, 989-463-1012.

Also, make sure to turn on notification!
