Encouraging news for early literacy in APS! 📚✨

Midyear data shows strong gains in reading proficiency among first and second-grade students, especially within historically underserved student groups. Several elementary schools saw increases of more than 20 percentage points since the start of the school year, a testament to the hard work of students, educators and families across our district.

📣 Shoutout to the schools recognized for these impressive gains:
• SY Jackson Elementary
• Barcelona Elementary
• Tres Volcanes Community Collaborative
• Bellehaven Elementary
• Manzano Mesa Elementary
• Double Eagle Elementary
• Hubert H. Humphrey Elementary
• Petroglyph Elementary
• Chaparral Elementary

We’re proud of this progress, and we know there is still more work ahead. APS remains committed to strengthening literacy instruction and ensuring every student develops the foundational reading skills they need to succeed.

Josiah saved 100 Meep Meep Bucks to purchase the chance to be Principal for the Day from the Roadrunner Corner Store! He did morning announcements, walked tardy friends to class, and did lunch duty in the cafeteria. He was famous in the halls as "Principal Josiah" 💛💙💛💙
