Dear Apopka Elementary Families,

We are absolutely thrilled to welcome you to a brand-new school year at Apopka Elementary – Home of Dolphins Diving Deeper! Whether you're joining us for the first time or returning to continue the journey, we are so grateful you've chosen to be part of our vibrant school community. Your trust in us to nurture and educate your child means the world!

To our returning families – thank you for your continued support and for helping us build on the legacy of greatness that defines Apopka. And to our new families – get ready to dive into a world of learning, creativity, and connection!

At Apopka Elementary, we believe in Diving Deeper – not just into academics, but into every opportunity to grow, explore, and shine. Our dedicated staff and brilliant scholars work together to create an environment where curiosity is celebrated and excellence is the standard.

Beyond the classroom, we offer a wide range of exciting enrichment programs and clubs that help our students discover their passions and talents. From Gifted/Enrichment instruction to National Honor Society, Robotics, Safety Patrols, Performing Arts, Visual Arts, Garden Club, Chess Club, and AV Clubs – there’s something for every scholar to love and lead in!

We are proud of the diverse, dynamic culture that makes our school so special. Every student brings something unique to our community, and together, we create something truly extraordinary.

Thank you for choosing Orange County Public Schools and Apopka Elementary. We can’t wait to see all the amazing things this year will bring!

With excitement and gratitude,
