Apex Friendship Elementary School

 

September 8, 2023

 

Thank you for a great start to the 2023-24 school year!  We were so happy to have all of our Kindergarten students with us this week!

 

Dismissal Reminders

We hope that everyone will limit last minute transportation changes, but we recognize this isn’t always possible.  Teachers can’t always check email or Talking Points during the day.  All same day transportation changes need to be called into the main office so that we can communicate directly with teachers.  

 

Parents are not permitted to drive to school, park their car, and walk up to request their child during dismissal.  Please remain in your car and follow the procedures for the most efficient and quickest way to pick up your child.  Our carpool line will get better every day as more students learn and recognize their number.

 

Please assist us in the carpool line by having all car seats on the right hand side of cars when possible.  If more time is needed for buckling, please pull into an open space in the first few parking spaces on the side.  For safety’s sake, please do not exit your vehicle in the carpool line.  We don’t want other cars passing on the left.

Curriculum Night - Thursday, September 21

We are excited to welcome you into the school on the evening of September 21.  You will visit your child’s classroom and learn about what they are learning for the year.  You’ll hear about classroom procedures, daily schedules, and more!  Teachers will provide two identical sessions to allow you to choose what best fits your schedule and to allow for parents with multiple children.

 

5:30-6:00: Session 1

6:05: PTA General Meeting in the Cafeteria

6:30-7:00: Session 2

 

Parking will be available at both the high school and middle school.  We hope you can join us!
