AAPS Wellbeing Partners Support our Students and our Schools

At AAPS, we want all students to reach their fullest potential. But we cannot do it alone. We’re grateful for our Community, Educational and Business partners who provide invaluable support to our students, our teachers and our schools.

The district Wellness Policy Committee serves as a hub of communication and activity for student wellness. Promoting physical activity and healthy eating are focus areas of the committee’s work. See the Board of Educations’ Wellness Policy and more about the Wellness Policy Committee here.

Research shows that the health of students is linked to their academic achievement. By working together, school staff and community partners aim to ensure that every young person in every school in every community is healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged.
