New Website Launching July 1, 2016 The multi-year redesign will relaunch the APS website with improved functionality and technological integration for the future. After a rigorous search, APS selected local vendor Materiell to custom-build the new website using the WordPress platform, which was chosen for its adaptability to new technology, and its potential for future development as an open-source platform. APS invited staff, families and the community to provide feedback in three rounds of user testing over the past year; the most recent was completed mid- April. Their comments and suggestions have been incorporated into the site functionality and design When the site launches, it will feature:

• an intuitive user interface
• seamless integration with our back-end systems
• improved video and social media integration
• an elegant new design
