To streamline our Out-Of-Zone (OOZ) process for returning students and to provide our families with more peace of mind, we have replaced the full annual application with a simplified Letter of Intent. π
π±For current OOZ students in grades Kβ4, 6, and 7, who have been pre-approved, parents/guardians will receive a Letter of Intent via the guardian's email listed in PowerSchool beginning today. If you expect a letter and don't receive one this week, please call Let's Talk! 575-812-8573 starting Tuesday, February 17. π»
π«Here are a few exceptions:
βͺοΈStudents transitioning to Middle School: Please note that all current 5th-grade students moving to 6th grade next year must complete a new Out-of-Zone application if they are requesting an OOZ school.
βͺοΈAll new students to APS and incoming 6th graders will complete the OOZ application.
βͺοΈIf you are returning to APS but have not previously completed an OOZ application, you will complete a new application as well.
β¨The application window for new requests will open on March 2nd.β¨
