Why APT Matters?

With the help of our amazing Cochise families, we were able to raise $315,850 (gross) in the 2024-2025 school year.

We have allocated nearly $126,000 toward Instructional Aides. This includes Response to Intervention (RTI), Kindergarten, as well as playground aides for the ‘25-’26 school year.

Below are just a few of the items we were able to fund thanks to your donations this past year:

●  Backpack hooks for use throughout the school

●  White Board Easels for CKLA support

●  Substitutes for every teacher for Planning Days for all grade levels

●  Playground support aides

●  Alt Seating for Classrooms

●  Standing Desks for teachers as needed

●  Ice Machine in teachers lounge

●  Teacher stipend for A+ rating submission

With your ongoing financial support, this year we hope to make campus improvements in anticipation of earning our A+ rating!

Here is where your donations will go! With the rising costs of each event, meal, and activity, your continued support is the reason we keep Cochise great!!
