Clothing Assistance

Please let me know if your student is in need of clothing or school supplies. 

The Clothing Bank:

The APS Clothing Bank is available to help students in need of clothing.  Students can request assistance up to two times a year and will receive socks, underwear, shoes and a voucher for some outfits.  Please feel free to email or call me.  I will need the following information when you get in touch: 

Student's Name, Teacher's Name, Shoe size*, Sock and Underwear Size, and Coat size**. 

*Shoes are difficult to obtain.  Only include shoe size if your child is in real need.  Also, state the reason for the need.

**Coats are not always available.

Locker 505

Locker 505 is a non-profit organization that families can take their children to get some clothing.  You will need a referral from me in order to visit.  Please call if your student needs some help with clothing.  For more information on Locker 505, please check their website at www.locker505.org.
