A Code Purple Alert means the air quality is very unhealthy. Everyone should limit prolonged or strenuous outdoor activity, and sensitive groups should avoid spending time outdoors whenever possible.

Families should check with their event organizer or school contact for updates regarding specific activities.

Helmet Hair? We Don't Care!

Helmet hair fades. Safe memories last.

Whether your helmet is covered in stickers, your favorite color or matches your ride, every helmet has one thing in common. It helps protect your brain for your next adventure.

Quick helmet check:
> Snug fit
> Level on your head
> Buckled every time

Adventure starts with a helmet. Let's see your style! Share a photo of your helmet (or your dream helmet) in the comments.

Know Your Ride. Ride Smart.

Not all bikes are the same, and its important to know the difference!
Whether riding a traditional bike, e-bike, scooter or skateboard, understanding how it works is the first step to riding safely.

Did you know?
> E-bikes come in different classes with different speeds.
> Some e-bikes can reach speeds of up to 28 mph.
> The faster the ride, the greater the responsibility.

Take a few minutes to learn about your ride before heading out this summer.

Tell us in the comments! What's your favorite way to get around in the summer? Bike? Scooter? Skateboard? Walking?

A summer full of possibilities starts with curiosity.

Beginning this week, the APS Summer Learning webpage will feature a new Summer Learning Menu every Monday through August 17, filled with simple, mostly screen-free activities for students of all ages.

This week's ideas include neighborhood shape hunts, sink-or-float science experiments, storytelling games, and more. Choose one or two activities that fit your family's schedule and see where curiosity leads!

Visit www.apsva.us/summer-learning and check back every Monday for a new Summer Learning Menu.

Growth often happens when we embrace new experiences and challenge ourselves to try something different.

Today, we are introducing Jacoby (Jac) Decasper, a member of the APS Class of 2026 whose journey reflects the value of leadership, service and lifelong learning.

Through a wide range of experiences both inside and outside the classroom, Jac has demonstrated the importance of staying curious, stepping forward when opportunities arise and using those experiences to grow and support others.
