Donna Barba Higuera speaks to the students at APHS as part of our One Book, One School event. Higuera wrote “The Last Cuentista”, which students and staff all read as part of our event. #thelastcuentista #gojags @AllenParkLib @MikeD_AllenPark

HELP! We are in search of an energizing kick off video to start our welcome back staff meeting.  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

I had the pleasure of meeting Author @jmattmiller while attending a very thought provoking professional development session (AI For Educators) yesterday sponsored by Wayne RESA.

This is a positive step forward that would ensure educators can focus on student needs this fall, not standardized testing. We appreciate MDE agreeing to our request to seek these waivers from the federal government.

Safely reopening schools will require additional resources, not less. Congress must take action to support our schools.

Proud to be attending the Forum for Michigan School Leaders - "Rising to our Responsibility". A forum for school leaders to address racial violence and anti-blackness in Michigan schools.

I too find myself speechless and wanting to share the words of Superintendent Marlon J. Styles, Jr.

[Joe Sanfelippo @Joe_Sanfelippo]

I don’t have the words and I don’t even know where to start. Marlon does. This is beautiful.

This week is AP Staff Appreciation Week! Never before has school staff been more appreciated – even as we work for our students from a distance, ensuring that our young people have what they need to thrive.

I posted this earlier for teachers. But administrators make sure this is your leadership philosophy in this crisis. Take care of your staffs.
