New Start Times for Elementary Schools

The image shows the new elementary school start time of 7:55 AM and end time of 3:10 PM.


To improve supervision at arrival and dismissal times, we’ve adjusted elementary hours by 5 minutes:
New elementary hours: 7:55 AM – 3:10 PM
AHS & AMS hours remain: 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM

Free/Reduced Meal Application

Online Free/Reduced Meal Application Now Available

Free & Reduced Meal Application Now Available

The online application for Free and Reduced Meals is now open. Families do not need to wait for enrollment to complete this form. Submitting your application early helps ensure there is no delay in benefits when school begins.

To fill out the application, visit Free/Reduced Meal Application Link.

The application is quick, confidential, and supports both your family and our schools.
If you have any questions, please contact the district office.

School Supply Lists

TeacherLists

Augusta Public Schools has partnered with TeacherLists again this year for school supply lists and made it so that you can shop online, at four different retailers, and have school supplies shipped right to your door. You are also able to use TeacherLists if you prefer to go in store and make your purchases. You can find school supply lists below. Below the TeacherLists ones are PDFs if you would prefer those still.

Communication Update for 2025-2026

As we begin the school year, we will continue using SchoolMessenger for district and school communications. To opt-in for text messages – send “Yes” to our school’s short code number, 67587. However, we are excited to share that we will begin transitioning to ParentSquare, with full implementation planned by January.

ParentSquare is a unified communication platform that will help streamline how we connect with families—offering more interactive, user-friendly, and consistent messaging across the district.

As we set up ParentSquare and learn more about its features, we will keep you updated and provide guidance to ensure a smooth transition. Thank you for your continued support!
