Wrapping Up • Apex is designed for the independent learner • If your student has an issue, please notify the lab manager immediately. • If you have any questions, concerns or comments, please feel free to contact the lab manager. Oftentimes, emails can be exchanged during the school day, while phone conversations usually take place after school hours. • Working as a team will bring success to each student!
