9th Graders to Participate in Respect Retreat
Apollo and Holdingford 9th graders will take part in a Respect
Retreat on Tuesday, December 8. For students to succeed academically
and socially, a respectful and caring school community is essential.
During the Youth Frontiers Respect Retreat, students from different
backgrounds and social cliques work together to learn how to embrace
respect as a core value in their lives and school community. At
a critical time in these young peoples' development, the Respect
Retreat helps build a positive school community by compelling
students to respect themselves, respect others, and stand up for
the value of respect. Further information can be found at Youth
Frontiers or view the program
overview.

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.
