Reminder! Did you know? 🚌On the 40th, 80th & 120th day of school, APS captures a snapshot of the bus ridership to report to NMPED. The information collected on this day is very important and impacts the funding our district receives for transportation. Transportation funding not only supports students' daily rides to and from school, it can also support in-district school field trips. 🚌 Tomorrow, Thursday, October 8th, if your child is a bus rider, please help us provide an accurate count by having them ride the bus. 🚌
