Our School

Map to Apache ES

Welcome Coyotes!

Apache Elementary was opened in 1967. The enrollment is about 330 students. Apache generally feeds into Kennedy Middle School and Manzano High School. Our school colors are navy blue and gold, and the mascot is the coyote. Our boundaries include homes north of I-40 to Lomas and Marquette east from Juan Tabo to Tramway, the Singing Arrow neighborhood, and the Four Hills community.

One important addition to the 2024-2025 school year is Apache is and AVID Elementary Schools. Students will learn how to prepare for college and career readiness through organization and other school strategies in class. 

In 2006:

Each class turned in a nomination for our school mascot. The staff voted on all of the preliminary choices and narrowed them down to the top three choices. The top three were voted on by the student body and staff members.

The Coyotes won!

September is Attendance Awareness Month

September is a time to focus on the importance of regular school attendance. Coming to school every day is a big deal for your child's success! When students attend school regularly, they build a strong foundation for learning. They don't miss important lessons in reading, writing, and math, and they get to be a part of all the fun and exciting things happening in the classroom. Being present helps them build friendships and develop social skills as well.

Every day of school counts, and we appreciate your support in making sure your child is here and ready to learn. It takes all of us to prepare them for their future goals. Here Today, Ready for Tomorrow!
