TRANSITION TO REMOTE LEARNING FOR All APS Students

The APS Board of Education approved a motion during their meeting last night to transition all APS students to fully remote learning for the rest of this semester. This includes all students who are currently learning in person (preschool and Kindergarten, students with special needs, newcomer students and Pickens Technical College students). This transition will start after Thanksgiving Break. The final day for in-person learning this semester will be Thursday, November 19.

Schools will be following up with families about remote learning. If you have specific questions about your child’s remote learning schedule or need access to any materials to engage in remote learning, please reach out to school staff.

The Vision of Dalton Elementary is to provide engaging opportunities to learn and grow in an environment that challenges and nurtures all learners to achieve their goals and reach their full potential for personal and professional success.

Mission: In partnership with our community, our knowledgeable and dedicated staff will foster individual student success by:

Building strong relationships with students and families
Engaging students in high-quality, challenging, standards-based instruction
Developing students’ social and emotional skills in a safe, respectful, and positive learning environment
Recognizing the strengths and meeting the needs of our diverse students
Empowering students to take risks and achieve their goals
