Parents Are Important at Apollo High School
Transitioning to High School can be a stressor for some ninth
grade students. Many experience a drop in grades and attendance.
The transition can be difficult due to the physical space of a
new school, new people, new rules and routines. There may be a
feeling of disconnectedness. At Apollo, we are committed to helping
your son/daughter transition in the best way possible. Click here
to view parent involvement belief statements. We want to partner
with you, freshman parents. Please attend the three Freshman Parent
Meetings. Click here to see dates. Working together for success!
That is what Apollo High School is all about! Welcome to a great
school year.
