    Discover this school

    Aptos encourages students to achieve at the highest levels, both academically and socially. At Aptos, students feel comfortable, nurtured, and respected. They are actively and positively engaged in a safe environment. We encourage students to develop a sense of responsibility, discipline, and self-esteem. The comprehensive academic program includes General Education classes, intensive English classes for English Language Learners, Special Education programs and Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) and honors classes. Students have the opportunity to participate in elective classes to engage their creativity, encourage development of multiple intelligences, and deliver opportunities for leadership. Students can select interests such as drama, computers, arts, journalism, chorus, orchestra, band, and jazz band. The curriculum is balanced by our physical education and student support programs. Some of other programs include student government, stage crew, Journalism, Beta Club Honor Society, Guitar Club, and Italian Club.

    All students have access to advanced classes, such as honors classes, as well as electives, support services, and highly qualified, trained and skilled teachers. We set and meet high expectations through interesting, stimulating learning activities and clear student evaluations. We believe that every student should feel safe, secure, and heard. We hold both students and ourselves accountable for success. We provide information, communicate, be professional and honest at all times, seeking to engage parents and families in the mission of the school.

    Opportunities for Parental Involvement

    Aptos Middle School has established various organizations and activities to support active parent participation. Among these is an active PTSA and a school site council which meets monthly. All departments have evening events for families where they can explore different parts of the curriculum. For example, our Math night encourages parents to participate in interactive learning activities. Our weekly PTSA Newsletter and other school announcements are sent home each Wednesday in homeroom classes. Our PTSA, along with a caring and dedicated staff provide the students and families of Aptos a positive and enriching educational experience. Our parent liaison / community resource specialist assists in increasing the role of the parents and lowering truancy and works with the entire school community.
