Welcome Back!

August 2010

Dear Students and Parents,

      I want to welcome you back to a new and exciting school year!  I hope you had a great summer and are ready to get back to work!   I want to especially welcome new students and their parents to Apollo Elementary.  We are excited that you have chosen our school.  We hope you enjoy being a part of the Apollo Rocket Family!

     We are starting school fifteen minutes earlier this year. Our hours will be from 8:00 a.m. - 3:05 p.m.  We will be serving breakfast everyday this year.  This is why we are starting the school day at 8:00 a.m. instead of 8:15 a.m.  Out tardy time will still be 8:20 a.m.; however, the teachers will start the students on instructional activities such as morning work, skills practice, Accelerated Reader and FASTTMath while students come and go for breakfast and arrive on the buses.  If you are driving your child to school, please plan on dropping them off at 8:00 a.m. so they will not miss out on important morning work.

    We have some fun and exciting activities planned for the year!  I want to encourage all parents to join the PTL and volunteer to help throughout the year.  We have many activities for parents to get involved.  Be sure to check out our website at www.bossierschools.organd sign up for School Loop.  Our website will update important information daily that will keep you informed of your child’s progress, as well as classroom and school events.

    I look forward to seeing you and want you to call me if there is any way that I can be of help.

Mrs. Dupree, Principal
