As APS prepares to Return + Learn, we want to ensure every student has a device and internet connection to access virtual instruction. Please complete a survey for each child by August 7 to receive a device by the first day of school! https://t.co/4AyIEqiAFo
If there’s one thing I’m convinced of after being on the frontlines of supporting our community during this pandemic it is that connectivity/WiFi should be a PUBLIC UTILITY not a luxury. It is as important as electricity or water. Never shut off and always accessible to ALL!
I am saddened to share that our colleague and friend, @FacilitiesAps Alvah Hardy, died tragically in a car accident. He literally touched every building in this district — and every ❤️ in APS including mine! My condolences to his family and friends.
