Winter Break
APC has decided to continue the extended winter break schedule for the 2015-16 calendar year.

APC will review winter break annually as part of the calendar-building process. If you have any questions, contact Sheila King, Executive Director of System Supports, at sking@heartlandaea.org or ext. 14386.
