Why APT Still Matters?

With the help of our amazing Cochise families, we were able to raise $315,900 (gross) in the 2023-24 school year. 

 

We have allocated $100,000 toward Instructional, Kindergarten and Response to Intervention (RTI) Aide salaries for the 2024-25 school year.

 

In April, we asked all teachers and staff to complete a “Teacher Wish List” form.  No restrictions were given. We received approximately $46,000 in requests….and we filled all of them!

 

Below are just a few of the teacher wish list items, as we can’t list every book, wall map, teaching material or classroom supply.

  • Backpack hooks for use of 5th grade 'lockers' and any add'l classroom hooks needed
  • White Board Easels for CKLA support (20)
  • Pre-K and Kinder outdoor sink replacement
  • Substitute for all grade level planning every teacher
  • Playground support aide
  • Lockdown Window Covers (30)
  • Creative MakerSpace
  • New 1st grade tables
  • PE Room storage
  • Alt Seating for Classrooms- new and replace as needed (20)
  • Teacher Lounge Remodel
  • Shelving replacement for classrooms (3 per room)
