National Teacher Appreciation Week
Posted by Jeanice Swift on 5/5/2016
Over this week, our staff, students, parents, leaders and community will recognize and celebrate our AAPS Teachers during this National Teacher Appreciation week.
I hope that you can take a few minutes to view this 2016 AAPS Teacher Appreciation video that we have created to honor our incredible teachers.
Also, we want to highlight our Exceptional Teachers series, located on our AAPS News site, where you can view feature articles about our teachers that we have shared over the previous year. We have been working to develop this exciting feature that celebrates and shares the stories of our exceptional teachers year-round, as well as during this special week in May.
Today, I want to add my voice in appreciation of our extraordinary teachers. Thank you, AAPS teachers, for your hard work and dedication in support of our students as well as for the positive and profound difference you make in the lives of our children.
Please join me in honoring and thanking our teachers for all that they do every day on behalf of our students.
I would also like to take this opportunity to remind all Washtenaw County voters that tomorrow, Tuesday, May 3, is an Election Day and voters will have the chance to vote on an increase in the Special Education Millage. The 1.5 mil increase will help districts across the county, including the Ann Arbor Public Schools, pay for mandatory special education services that are currently being paid from the district’s general fund. The special education funds would directly benefit special education students while allowing the general fund dollars that were formerly used to pay for special education services to be utilized for general education programs.

Thank you all for your support of our students, our families and our community.
Sincerely,
Jeanice K. Swift
