In recognition of May being Mental Health Awareness Month, Alpena Public Schools (APS) is pleased to announce an evening focused on mental health is being held on Tuesday, May 16th. From our orientation program to graduation, our support team works closely with the students and their families to help overcome the barriers that often interfere with student success. Mentors connect with parents and families using a variety of communication tools to help build a solid bridge between home and the ACES community. To help support students in their learning journey, each student is connected with a staff member who will become their mentor and “go to” person as they plan their roadmap towards graduation. Additionally, students have a variety of options to earn credit outside of the classroom including: work based learning, Career and Technical Education options, credit recovery, volunteering, and dual enrollment with Alpena Community College. ![]() Using Blended Learning Instruction and online learning, teachers infuse technology into daily classroom lessons providing greater flexibility in connecting students to our digitally-wired world.
