APS HIGH SCHOOL INFORMATION SESSIONS FOR TRANSFERS (for admission to the 2012-2013 School Year)
 
APS offers school information sessions to provide parents an opportunity to visit the schools, meet the principals, tour the buildings, and get a general sense of the personalities of each of the schools. All parents/guardians of rising high school students are encouraged to attend one of these sessions. In addition, according to our SB policy, school information sessions are required for families who are considering applying to another school other than their neighborhood school, including the high school countywide programs.
