Apache Elementary School PTSO

School’s back in session! Charge those laptops and get a good night’s sleep! 💙

Reminder for Kinder families ~

See you tomorrow in the multipurpose room after you drop off your students for their first day! 🍎

Come grab something to eat, meet other Kinder families, and hear briefly from the PTSO and principal. 😀

Kindergarten parents/families, please join the PTSO hosted Boohoo Woohoo breakfast in the multipurpose room, immediately following dropping your Kindergartners off with their teachers 🥹

Kindergarteners will be in classrooms starting their day after your goodbye, and we know this can bring up a lot of emotions! ❤️

Come celebrate or commiserate - enjoy some light breakfast, chat with others who can relate, and hear from both PTSO members and Apache administrators.

📌Save the Date.

Welcome Mrs. Bachanos! 🎉

We are so excited for this upcoming school year!

WARRIORS!! GIVE A WARM WELCOME TO MRS. BACHANOS!!!!!

Hello, Apache Warriors!

I am so excited to introduce myself as the new principal at Apache Elementary School! I have proudly served in the Peoria Unified School District for the past 20 years and have had the opportunity to teach a variety of grade levels, from kindergarten through 5th grade. Throughout my career, I have also served as an instructional coach for the Liberty Cluster and have spent the last 10 years in school administration.

I am passionate about teaching and learning, and I love working with children. I believe every student deserves a positive, supportive environment where they can grow, succeed, and reach their full potential. I look forward to partnering with our amazing staff, families, and community to continue the legacy of excellence that makes Apache an exceptional place for students to learn and thrive.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family, camping, hiking, and just about anything outdoors. My husband and I are especially enjoying our newest roles as "Mimi" and "Grandpa" to two precious baby boys who bring us endless joy.

I am honored to be part of the Apache family and can't wait to get to know each of you. Here's to an amazing year ahead!

Summer break is flying by! ☀️
