Welcome to the Academy Prep Center of Tampa family! It's important to us to keep you engaged in your student's experience at APT. Here, you can access several important links and resources that will help you navigate your way throughout the school year.
Welcome to the 2022 - 2023 school year. Here are five things to know about APT:
1. Academy Prep has high standards. We expect our students to succeed. Students who work hard achieve BIG results! We guarantee it.
2. Convocation is at 7:30 am and all students are expected to be in line and ready to start their day. The little things matter, so don't be late. If something happens, please call the school office and let us know what's happening. We work best when we work together.
3. Read your school newsletter. It goes out every Thursday at 9:00 am, and it has important information - knowledge is power. Pay attention to the little things. It all matters.
4. School is dismissed at 5:30 pm every day, except Fridays. Friday dismissal is at 3:45 pm. Please don't be late to pick up your student. If something goes wrong, please call the school office right away.
5. If you have a question, a problem, anything - call us. We are here for you and your student. We work best when we work together.
Free parent workshops are presented during the school year on various topics of interest to our families. Parents will receive school service hours for attending! These are easily earned hours - all workshops are offered through Zoom (with the exception of the upcoming TPD workshop which will be held in-person on our campus). For questions regarding upcoming workshops or to reserve your seat, please email Mrs. Lauren Malone, Guidance Counselor, at lmalone@academyprep.org. A contact form can be found below.
