Coelho Middle School

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow, September 22nd from 6-8 PM, Coelho Middle School will be hosting our annual Welcome Back Night. The evening will begin promptly at 6 PM in the auditorium with the administration and then you will proceed to your child’s classes.  Even though we want you to bring your child to share in the experience and help you navigate the building, we will be sending home a copy of a schedule to use as a reference and guide.  For this evening’s event, we will be following the Day 5/Friday schedule for your child.  Lastly, if you haven’t done so, please download the APS app so that you can get notifications and alerts from the school and your child’s teacher.  Thank you and we look forward to seeing you, Andrew Boles

APS is thrilled to announce our app for mobile phones! Stay up-to-date with access to events, documents, news from administrators, student stories, and even emergency notifications. You can download the app for free on Google Play or Apple App Store. Download for Android https://bit.ly/3y0V3x1 Download for iPhone https://apple.co/3RjqlYR
