As always, Day One at Westerman Preschool & Family Center was a mix of tears, smiles, wide eyes, and hugs. We warmly welcome our youngest learners to the AAPS family!

We asked a few kindergarteners at Thurston and Pittsfield: How are your first days going? What do you like most about your teachers? And what’s the best part of your day? (Hint: It was unanimous.) Their responses are captured in this Q&A video.

Great news! Huron High School A Cappella Choir was selected to perform at the Michigan School Vocal Music Association Choral Hour at the 2027 Michigan Music Conference in Grand Rapids on January 22nd at 3 p.m.in the JW Marriott Grand Ballroom.  

Ann Arbor Public Schools today kicked off the new academic year with excitement and energy across its buildings. Students reunited with friends, met new teachers, and settled into classrooms ready for a fresh start. Here’s to a great year ahead!

The only thing better than getting your sixth-grade locker open is doing it twice—because you know you’ve got this! At Slauson Middle School today, students followed their new schedules from classroom to classroom on self-guided tours, practiced their locker combinations, and greeted old friends. It was a productive day as students prepared to return to school on Monday.
