The Board of Education is committed to providing a safe, respectful, and nurturing environment for all members of the school community including students, staff, parents/guardians, community partners, and visitors.
This handbook is a reflection of the vision and values of the APS Board of Education. Students, parents/guardians, and staff should review and be familiar with this handbook, as well as the handbook from the student’s school. The Handbook for Student Success will be reviewed by the Board of Education on an annual basis.
Suggested changes should be submitted to the Student, Parent, Employee Service Center (servicecenter@aps.edu) or Board Services Office (boarded@aps.edu). The handbook is posted online at the beginning of each school year.
The Student Handbook is an administrative procedural directive, and as such, implements policies approved by the APS Board of Education.
Board Policy and Administrative Procedural Directive
Board Policies are approved by the Board of Education and administrative procedural directives are approved by the Superintendent and their cabinet. Board policies are statements of the community's vision and values, also known as the board's goals. Administrative procedures provide a framework for implementation of the board's goals and guardrails. Board policies begin with letters that loosely align with the index code of the National School Board classification system. Administrative procedures are titled by topic. District policies and administrative procedures are also available on the district's website.
