• Rising K Registration Reminders
    If you have registered for APS Kindergarten, you should have either received a message confirming that your application has been accepted (and is complete) OR received a message explaining any items that are missing from your application (you'll need to upload that missing documentation to Infinite Campus). If you have not received any communication from MES concerning your K application, please reach out to Ms. Mosley at tawana.mosley@atlanta.k12.ga.us or call the MES front office to follow up on the status of your application.  You should have your application reference number to share with them to help them more quickly locate your application file in the Infinite Campus student information system. If you have not yet registered for Kindergarten, please begin the process today here!
