Apex Elementary School

Future middle schoolers at work! Our 5th graders have been collaborating big time this week, applying their math skills to design custom menus and action-packed obstacle courses. We love seeing them use creativity and teamwork to level up for their next big chapter!

Every student, every step of the way. There is magic in small group learning! Our dedicated teachers are working closely with students this week to bridge gaps, build confidence, and ensure everyone is fully equipped and ready for the next level of learning.

It takes a village, and ours is the best! Thank you to all the families who joined us for our end-of-year celebrations. Seeing our students connect with their adults and showcase the incredible social and academic growth they’ve made this year was the perfect way to wrap up the season. We are so lucky to serve this wonderful community.

Proof that the best memories aren't always planned! Our kindergarteners recently wrote about their favorite parts of the year, and guess what won? The day the power went out and they got to learn by flashlight! Thank you to our incredible teachers for turning an unexpected moment into a core memory.

Let’s hear it for Ms. McKee! On Friday, she was recognized with the Wake County Employee Excellence Award! We are so incredibly proud to have her on our team and grateful for the dedication she shows to our students every day.

Future Engineers at Work: Ms. Meehan's class put their STEM skills to the test by building roller coaster tracks! Beyond the engineering design process, students practiced vital social-emotional skills like teamwork and problem-solving. The true power of this lesson was in the thoughtful reflection conversations Ms. Meehan led to help students navigate both their design challenges and group dynamics.

Leaving a Legacy
Our hallways just got a lot brighter! Check out the stunning self-portraits created by our 5th graders. This is their official Legacy Project, beautifully facilitated by our art teacher, Mr. DeVane, and generously supported by our amazing PTA. We love seeing our students' personalities shine on our walls! Apex Elementary PTA

A big thank you to Ms. Wilson for helping our students gear up for summer reading! She invited representatives from our local libraries to visit with students, share exciting summer programs, and teach them how they can check out new books all summer long.

Our youngest mathematicians are working hard on teen numbers, learning to view them as "a group of ten and some more" using ten frames. This foundational skill is preparing them perfectly for 1st-grade math!

Our 4th and 5th-graders are staying incredibly focused as they prepare for end-of-year assessments!

In 5th grade, Ms. Scales’ students used high-energy Blooket games to review.
