🧡Alamogordo Public Schools will be celebrating Unity Day on Wednesday, Oct. 21st! We encourage everyone to wear orange on this day to show your support for kindness, inclusion, and bullying prevention.🧡
Unity Day is an annual event during National Bullying Prevention Month that encourages us to join together to create healthier communities through kindness, acceptance of differences, and inclusion. Started by PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center in 2011, Unity Day is now celebrated worldwide. By standing together, we can make a tremendous impact on the lives of young people and demonstrate the power of unity. Let’s unite and focus on the positive actions we can take to build healthier, more inclusive communities.

Reminder! Did you know? 🚌On the 40th, 80th & 120th day of school, APS captures a snapshot of the bus ridership to report to NMPED. The information collected on this day is very important and impacts the funding our district receives for transportation. Transportation funding not only supports students' daily rides to and from school, it can also support in-district school field trips. 🚌 Tomorrow, Thursday, October 8th, if your child is a bus rider, please help us provide an accurate count by having them ride the bus. 🚌
