Spring Concert...

It's Springtime at APS - time to perform!

Arrow Pride Award recipients...

One of the greatest gifts we can give each other is the gift of friendship. As we navigate life with all of its ups and downs, we lean heavily on the friends and family around us. This is also true here at APS. We are lucky to live in a community and go to a school that has friendly faces everywhere you look. On good days we can share a smile and on bad days someone else's good day can quickly pick us up. Friendship is one of the cornerstones that help us be successful in our academics, be responsible when at times we want to do something we shouldn’t, to respect the ones who treat us with respect, To push ourselves and take on new opportunities when they are presented to us, to work hard even when we don’t want to and finally to celebrate our successes when they come. We celebrate the following students for their role in ensuring that all our students feel a sense of success and that their friendship pushes each one of us to live and work in the Arrow Way.

Re: Calendar Revision for the 2018-19 School Year
Date: 3-21-19

As you are aware, the 2018-19 school year has been a challenging year in regards to the weather.  Due to blizzards and extremely cold temperatures, Ashby Schools experienced four school closing days, six two hour late starts, and one 12:30 early out. Knowing that instructional time is important for student achievement and for various other reasons, the Ashby School Board, in cooperation with Supt. Niemann, made the tough decision at the March 20th school board meeting to utilize the four scheduled “make-up” days which are designed into our annual school calendar to extend the school year and make up for lost instructional time.  As such, students in grades K-11 will now be required to attend school on May 28th, 29th, and 30th.  Additionally, pre-school will also not be in session during the extended days. This school year extension will NOT affect the scheduled May 26th graduation ceremony and seniors will not be required to return to school after that date. ​

Students of the Month...

Research has shown that much of who we are is shaped by our experiences throughout our lives.  As we navigate childhood, what we experience slowly shapes our view on the world around us. We develop who we are, what we like and dream about who we want to become all based on the positive and negative experiences we have. For some, a negative experience will deter us from working through a challenging situation while others, with the proper support will fight through the uncomfortable feelings and find a way to succeed. 

We call this stick-with-it-ness: Grit.  <More>
