Apollo Elementary School

Dear Apollo families,

We have had a fantastic first week for all of our students. The returning students did not miss a beat and our newest students are quickly learning the expectations of their new school. Awesome job Rockets! The staff and I are anticipating a terrific year ahead!

I want to take this opportunity to review the drop-off and pick- up practices for Apollo, in efforts to keep all students safe:

• Please remember you are driving in a school zone and keep to the posted speed limit.
• Please pull forward in the load /unload zone and have your student exit your car from the passenger side.
• Please do not leave your car unattended in the load/unload zone.
• If you need to enter school with your student, please plan to parking in an identified parking spot.

While not every morning/afternoon is perfect in the drop -off/pick-up lot, due to various circumstances, I would like to personally thank you in advance for your willingness to keep students safe and help this process run as smoothly as possible!

It takes a great deal of effort to create a great start to school each year and I would like to give a “BIG THANK YOU” to our teachers, custodians, office staff, and PTA for having everything ready to roll for the start of the 2018-2019 school.

We all look forward to seeing you at Curriculum Nights later in the month. Please note curriculum night for students in grades 3-5 and students in grades K-2 are on separate nights. The schedules are as follows:

September 25 grades 3-5 and September 27 grades K-2

Agenda for each night:

6:00 pm – 6:20 pm  Principal’s message in the MPR

6:30 pm - 7:15 pm Teacher presentations in classrooms

Also, as a reminder, curriculum night is for parents to learn about their child’s new grade level, academic expectations, and curriculum. If you find that you need to have a lengthier conversation with your teacher, please contact the teacher from a meeting as the teachers are happy to meet!
