Student Absences
Please make sure to verify your student's absences. It is considered unexcused without a phone call, email or note. Please call 358-5700, email the office at fitchh@alpenaschools.com, or log onto your Parentvue account to excuse them.
Dismissal/Bus Route
If you have a change in plans that you need to notify your child of regarding end-of-the-day bus/pick-up, please call the office before 3:30 p.m. This allows us time to relay messages and prepare a smooth transition to the end-of-the-day procedures.
Parents, please call the office for any changes in your child's bussing situation. You may not write notes for the bus drivers to follow. In order for bus drivers to make a change they have to receive a note from the office staff so they know that this has been approved by parents or guardians.
***To check your student's bus route information
Go to ParentVue using the app or website, select student info. Then scroll to the bottom and click additional information for their bus routing schedule provided by day as well as AM and PM. If it is incorrect or needs to be changed then there is automated transportation request on the first page at the bottom of ParentVue.
Parent Drop-Off or Pick-Up
If your child is getting dropped off late or being picked up early we ask that you please come into the office to sign them in or out to make sure that information is accurately being put into Synergy accounts.
If you are dropping off or picking up your child from the pick-up line please refrain from exiting your vehicle. If it is necessary for you to get out of the vehicle please pull into a parking space so we continue the flow of traffick and keep everyone safe.

Emergency Drills
Michigan State law requires a school to schedule five fire drills, two tornado drills, and three school safety/security drills (e.g., lockdown, shelter in place, etc.). These drills will occur throughout the school year. We will be having drills starting this week. Please discuss with your child the importance of following all safety procedures and protocols as we participate in these very important drills. We practiced a fire drill and tornado drill this week at Wilson.
Wilson Wildcat Gear
Here is the link to our Wilson Wildcat Gear!! This will remain open all year so feel free to order when you would like. There is no obligation to order this is only if you are interested in some gear! We wear it all throughout the year. A portion of the proceeds are donated to Wilson PAC to help support events throughout the school year.
Boys and Girls Club
We are excited to announce that the Boys and Girls Club will be providing a bus at Wilson to transport them to the center. This will start the week of October 23rd on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If your child's name is not on the list that is provided by the Boys and Girls Club they will not be going so please make these arrangements before these dates so students are delivered to the right place. Thank You!

We ask that you please do not send in money with your child. Per State Lotto License rules (guide book pg. 10, item #3) An adult 18 years or older must purchase tickets however an adult may put a minor's name on the ticket stub and a prize may be awarded to a minor.
We will have multiple times when tickets are available after school for purchase and tickets are always available inside the school office for you to come in and purchase at your convenience. Thank you for your understanding! We are all learning all the rules and regulations.
Message From Food Service
Michigan School Meals is a fantastic program to support our students with a free complete breakfast and complete lunch, each full school day. With that program, in line with updated USDA federal guidelines, meals must be served in a group setting during meal service. Given these requirements, only breakfast will be served on ½ days of instruction.
It is our honor to serve the students of APS and appreciate their support of their families
If you have any questions please contact Food Services Director Nic Wiser 989 358 5021 or wisern@alpenaschools.com
