Greetings Bach Families and Students,

We have already created some beautiful artwork and are beginning to display our creations throughout the school. Students in grades 1-5 created collaborative flower drawings and paper quilts while young fives and kindergarten classes learned about rainbow order and basic painting techniques. Many students have also really enjoyed making artist trading cards and trading them with classmates.

Parents, please click on the following link and enter the code below to sign up for your child’s Artsonia account, a safe online portfolio website with photographs of different projects we create in class each year. If you have any questions, please contact me at alseriw@aaps.k12.mi.us

Thank you!

-Mrs. Alseri

Welcome to the first installment of the Community Resource update for the 24-25 School Year!

August 2024 Community Resource Update

In this Issue:

• Reminders of where to find help for families and students
• Health and Wellbeing Resources including a free Vaccine Clinic, free car seats, and free hearing/vision screenings.

And much more!

When you or your child needs help, it’s hard to know where to turn. To ease the burden of finding the mental health and substance use services you need, AAPS has partnered with Care Solace. Care Solace’s multilingual and culturally sensitive Care Companion™ team is available 24/7/365 to quickly connect individuals to community providers regardless of need. We are grateful for the grant dollars that allow us to provide this critical service to our students and families. Learn more here.
