Donations to our anti-bullying initiative will help offset the costs to purchase the program and materials used in the curriculum.

Interpreter (Translation Services)
Translation and interpreter services are available to students and families with a primary language other than English. Services are used to ensure successful academic achievement for all students. Services are helpful in engaging parents in their student's education and include, but are not limited to: interpreter services for parent teacher conferences, curriculum discussions, written communications with parents, etc. Make a donation for Student Services now.
iPads for Autism Program
 The iPads for Autism pilot program, launched by Traverse City Area Public Schools in 2011, provided iPads to nine students with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Aspergers Syndrome. The iPads are loaded with apps specially selected for each student to improve communication and social skills and connect with the student in a way only technology can. With your help, our goal is to put one of these devices into the hands of *all* TCAPS students who can learn and benefit from them.
In addition to a cash donation option for the iPads for Autism program, there is another great way for you to support this program. Click here to make a donation for iPads now.
