BILINGUAL SEAL The Bilingual Seal affixed to diplomas and official transcripts signifies proficiency and skills in two languages. High school students must take at least 8 core credits in another language, usually Spanish, and complete a portfolio. Elementary and middle school students also can earn a bilingual seal by taking half of their academic content in English, the other half in Spanish, and completing a portfolio. The achievement is sure to benefit students in college, career and life.

STEM, STEAM, STEALTH APS schools focus on science, technology, engineering and math as well as art, literacy, transformation and health (hence the acronyms). APS has several STEM magnet schools, including San Antonito Elementary School, a Certified National Magnet School. Engineering the Future is a K-12 STEM pathway at Mission Avenue Elementary School, Garfield Middle School and Valley High School. The free K-12 magnet program — where students learn to think like engineers and create solutions to real-world problems — is the first of its kind in Albuquerque.

Albuquerque Public Schools connects with students, families, staff and the community in a variety of ways. APS.edu School websites The Core newsletter SchoolMessenger ParentVUE/StudentVUE Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube Peachjar Digital Flyers These tools – combined with more traditional ways of reaching out such as phone calls and letters home, parent conferences and home visits – help inform and involve families in the academic journey of their children.
Maya Angelou once wrote, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you.” That statement came to mind when I saw that the 2021-2022 APS calendar theme is “Voices, Stories, and Choices.” I started thinking about the more than 70,000 students in Albuquerque Public Schools, each with their own story inside that needs to be told and nurtured. Our job as public educators is to help every one of those students find their voice, reach their goals, pursue their dreams. We do that not only by providing them with a high-quality education, which goes without saying, but also through respect, empathy, and patience. Kids learn differently because they are different. Their classroom and school performance are heavily influenced by their home life, history, ethnicity, native language, disabilities, orientation, attitudes. To provide them with the education they deserve, we need to celebrate their individuality and make sure they know they are heard. It’s when we open our ears, eyes, minds, and hearts that we do our best work. We also need to give them choices. One of the advantages of being a large urban-suburban-rural school district is our ability to offer so many choices, from traditional neighborhood schools to smaller magnet schools with focused areas of study. And within all of our schools, there are programs, activities, classes, pathways, and support systems designed to fit the needs of a diverse, curious, and impressionable student body. This year’s calendar features just a few of the many educational opportunities we provide students – from dual language and dual credit, career-based and college-based learning, college prep and marketable job skills, fine arts and competitive sports. Something for everyone. I hope you will take some time to learn more about all that we offer as we kick off this promising new school year. And spread the word. Albuquerque Public Schools is the right choice for endless opportunities. Respectfully, LEARN MORE
