American Preparatory Academy is excited to introduce the Winterim program for the 2024-2025 school year.  The Winterim term runs from January 6th through January 24th during normal school hours.  The daily start and end times will not change during Winterim. However there will only be 4 periods per day.  Students will choose 4 winterim courses and attend those each day. Winterim registration starts October 25th. Please take the time to review fees and course scheduling on the website located here: https://sites.google.com/apamail.org/d3-winterim-2024-25/home

Make sure your Skyward email is up to date. We will send important Information over the summer. So make sure your email listed on Skyward is correct.

How does it work?

How do I know if I have Attendance School?

If your grade in Skyward has been replaced by an NC, you have Attendance School. You are given 3 “free tardies” per class/per term (so 4 or more tardies count towards Attendance School).  Any time during the term you receive your 4^th (or more) tardies an email will automatically be sent to your parents letting them know how many tardies you now have in that specific class.

Reminder! Deduct the 3 free tardies before you sign up and pay!

You can also login to your Skyward to see if you have an “NC” grade for any of your classes. Check your attendance to see how many tardies you have for the term.

Now what do I do?

• Pre-Registration/Pre-Payment is required!
  • Registration: Go to our Draper 3 website, Parent Resources then click on Attendance School Form. Fill in all required information and submit.
  • Payments: must be paid online or at the High School/Jr High office by NOON the day before the date you plan to attend. Cash or Credit Card is accepted.
• Each tardy after the first 3 is $5/30 minutes.

Look in our Newsletters, on our website and on the Bulletin boards located by the High School/Jr High Office’s for these dates. We also announce this during morning announcements.
