Your Employee Benefits Overview

We’re excited to have you join the Atlanta Public Schools (APS) family! As a new team member, you have access to a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your overall well-being—at work and beyond.

APS is committed to helping you take care of your health, plan for your financial future, and maintain a balanced life. Whether you're full-time or part-time, we offer valuable resources and benefit options to fit your needs.

Your benefits can significantly enhance your total compensation and include:

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Life and disability coverage
• Retirement savings plans
• Flexible spending accounts (FSAs)
• Paid time off and holidays
• Employee wellness and assistance programs
• Perks and discount programs

The Enrollment Guide will help guide you through the first steps in understanding and enrolling in your APS benefits.

📅 Enrollment Deadlines – Don’t Miss Your Window

As a new employee, you have 31 days from your hire date to enroll in your benefits.

If you don’t take action during this initial window, you will only be able to make changes during the next Open Enrollment period or if you experience a qualifying life event (such as marriage, birth/adoption of a child, or loss of other coverage).

We encourage you to review your options early so you have time to ask questions and make the best choices for you and your family.
