Dear APS Families,It’s Friday Night Bulldog Football time again so I want to take a moment to address a matter of utmost importance – the safety and well-being of our students during the games.Last football season, we implemented the new protocol of not allowing students to walk around Bulldog Bowl during the football games. We will again put this protocol into place this season. It provided our fans with the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful evening without having to dodge students as well as cutting down on the fights. We received positive feedback from staff, students and fans on how much nicer it was at our games. Please remind your student that unless they have a reserved seat ticket, they must sit in the general admission section or the student section.
