I hope had a fabulous spring break! Just a quick update on what's coming up in April. Starting the first week, we'll have ACT testing for juniors and Aspire testing for freshmen, which will be a full day of testing. Please look out for more information about the schedule for other students who won't be testing that day. On April 8th, we'll have the AZ Science Test and the PSAT, which will be a half-day of testing. More details on the schedule will be shared soon, so please stay tuned.

Encourage your students to start practicing for these tests, as there's not much time left before the ACT. It's important for students to feel comfortable and prepared to be successful. Teachers will be working on preparing students in the coming weeks.

Spring sports are in full swing! Come check out our amazing athletes in tennis, track, baseball, softball, and boys' volleyball. Softball, baseball, and track will host invitational tournaments, so enjoy the spring weather and support our Apollo athletes. Check the calendar for game dates.

It's hard to believe there's only one more quarter left. Please encourage your students to finish the school year strong. Check ParentVUE and ParentSquare to stay updated on what needs to be completed before the end of school in May.

Finally, mark your calendars for May 19th for graduation. We'll share more information about that date, but we wanted to make sure you have it on your calendar. Make sure your senior student is ready to graduate, and remind our juniors, sophomore, freshmen how quickly school goes by and the importance of staying on top of their grades.

Let's finish the semester strong!
