Dear nex+Gen Community. 

The end-of-semester crunch is upon us. When we return from Thanksgiving break, we will have just 12 school days before final exams. Now is the perfect time to ensure your student is caught up and doing their very best in all of their classes.

As we head into the holiday, I want to wish you and your family a joyous, safe, and restful Thanksgiving break. Thank you for your continued support and partnership.

• Parent-Teacher Conferences: Parent-teacher conferences will be held on November 24th and 25th. This will be an asynchronous day.  No in-person classes will be held. All classes will have an agenda posted on Echo with assignments. Your student’s advisor will reach out to you about scheduling a parent-teacher conference. 

• Thanksgiving Break: This year, Thanksgiving break will be from November 26th- November 30th. Classes will resume on Monday, December 1st. 

• Student Transfers to nex+Gen Academy: Know a Student Interested in Attending nex+Gen Academy? The admissions process has changed slightly this year. Families must now apply for a transfer through the ParentVue system, and the admissions lottery will be held on December 1st. After December 1st, students will be accepted on a rolling basis as space allows.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Ms. Granone at nicole.granone@aps.edu.

If your student needs to make up an exam, they must schedule an appointment directly with their teacher.

• eCademy Exams
  e-Cademy final exams are scheduled for Tuesday, December 16 and Wednesday, December 17. These exams are in-person and should be arranged with the e-Cademy teacher. Nex+Gen students usually take e-Cademy exams on the Del Norte High School campus.

If you have any questions, please contact our counselor, Ms. Hastings, at hastings_c@aps.edu.

• Driver's Education: Is your student 15 or older and ready to earn their driver’s permit?
  Great news! nex+Gen offers FREE Driver’s Education, which can save your family $300–$500. Even better—students who complete the course earn one elective credit toward graduation.

If you would like your student to take advantage of this opportunity next semester, please email Ms. Floyd at floyd_a@aps.edu, or have your student sign up on the sheet posted outside Ms. Floyd’s office (Room 110).
