Wells APAC Arts Student of the Week - Aleia Johns was chosen to be highlighted for her exemplary work submitted in her Dance Portfolio Project. All students in the dance department are required to complete and maintain portfolios, as we continue to reflect the professional standards upheld in the global dance community. Not only did Aleia meet the requirements to document, archive, and showcase her artistic work, but also she used her unique, creative voice to brand the content of her portfolio in a personalized and polished way. Aleia was recently cast as a special role in the Dance Department's production of The Nutcracker, which is set to premiere in November. We are so proud of Aleia and love having her as an integral part of our dance family at Wells APAC!

Congratulations to Jackson Public Schools Bailey APAC 7th grade visual art students, Alexis Gypson & Simms Powell, for placing 1st and 2nd in the statewide “Defenders of Democracy” art competition sponsored by Southern Poverty Law Center.

The SPLC in partnership with Mississippi Votes challenged MS students (13-18 years) to design a coin focused on “voter protection, education, mobilization, or registration.” The winning designs will be part of a voter engagement comic book, “Defenders of Democracy,” that introduces teens and college students to the multiple layers of civic engagement. Tougaloo College hosted an awards reception and a panel discussion focused on voter education. Congrats to our Bailey APAC Middle School visual art teachers and students, Alexis and Simms.

Hello APAC parents and students!

The construction on Riverside Dr. continues to impact the traffic flow around Wells APAC. Please see the attached letter and map to see the new area and procedure for the middle school dismissal from Wells.

On A-days, Bailey Middle APAC bus riders will be dismissed promptly at 3:00 p.m to return to Northwest/Bailey. Middle school car riders who are being picked up at Wells will be dismissed after buses have left the school at approximately 3:10 pm. Please remain in the center lane on Riverside Dr. until directed to proceed to Peachtree Street. Exiting a vehicle to pick up a car rider will be prohibited. All car riders and buses will pick up students on the east side of Peachtree St. ONLY. This is the side of the street that is closest to the school. No student will be allowed to cross through traffic to the other side of the street!!

We appreciate your patience as we work through the construction challenges, and we are looking forward to a great 2023-24 school year!
