Apollo-Ridge Elementary School Home of the Vikings

There will be no school for students on Friday, November 8, 2019 due to parent-teacher conferences and Monday, November 11, 2019 in observance of Veteran's Day.

This is a reminder that Operation Candy Drop runs until this Thursday, November 7, 2019. We are asking students to donate a portion of their wrapped Halloween candy they collected to give to the US Troops stationed here in the U.S. and overseas. If you have a friend or relative currently serving in the military that would enjoy receiving a box of candy along with cards and letters from the students please fill out the form that was sent home with your child last week. If you do not have the form, you can download it by clicking on the "Operation Candy Drop" headline above, or get a form from the school to complete. Thank you in advance for your generosity!

The PTA is holding the Scholastic Book fair the week of November 4-7, 2019 (during school hours), and also during parent teacher conferences November 7th from 5-8pm, and November 8th from 8:30-10:30am.

LifeTouch will be at the elementary school for makeup pictures and retakes on Friday, November 22, 2019.

Thank You EITC Partners for paying for our busing to Crooked Creek! We were able to take K-5th graders to the Outdoor Learning Center at Crooked Creek last week. We spent the day hiking, learning how a tree is a factory, how animals use camouflage, and they identified scat and animal tracks. It was a great bonding experience for students and staff to start off the school year!
