"nothing released to suggest Casey looked at apts separately," "or that she went to Sawgrass:"
True, we know of no evidence that she actually went apartment-hunting on her own. But per text messages and interviews released under discovery/Sunshine, Casey did make multiple statements to various people over a several-week period, that she was looking for an apartment and later on, looking for a house.
Examples: She told Iassen D (not sure of the date) that she was looking for an apartment for her and Caylee. IIRC, June 16, 2008, she told Jesse G that she needed to find a place to live, as she was moving out of the A home.

Casey's friends formerly lived in Unit 218 at Sawgrass, and it is a documented fact that she had visited there multiple times. Casey seemed pretty familiar with the complex IMO; her initial statement to LE on 7/15/08 mentions having last seen her daughter alive at the bottom of the stairs leading up to #210. In interviews with LE that night and the next day, she demonstrates more than a passing familiarity with Sawgrass, such as knowing the location and description of the nearby maintenance shed and the entrance/layout of the complex.

It may be neither here nor there, but as we know, a classmate/acquaintance of Casey's, named KSR, was employed at Sawgrass.

Note: KSR was on the witness list, but was not called to testify at trial.

From her own mouth, and under oath at that, Casey places herself at Sawgrass on multiple occasions. Yes, I know June 16, 2008 phone pings may disagree, but Casey's original story (told a month later, July 15/16) was that she dropped Caylee off with Zanny at Sawgrass "between 9 and 1," where she had dropped her off on previous occasions as well. Then, after returning later in the day to find them gone, she claimed to have sat on the steps at Sawgrass to wait. She places herself there on multiple previous occasions, and twice on the day Caylee allegedly disappeared from there.
Amazingly, the real Zenaida Gonzalez happened to really show up at Sawgrass less than 24 hours after Caylee's mother would later claim she went missing from there. Zenaida's personal details were recorded on a visitor card and she was accompanied to
the demo unit directly downstairs from #210. And there we have the "coincidence" of the century, folks: The real Zenaida Gonzalez is known to have appeared, not merely
at Sawgrass Apartments, but at the
precise spot Casey would later identify as the place where she handed off Caylee to the "nanny" Zenaida Gonzalez, never to see either again. What are the odds?

"there was no such person at Casey's school:"
Right, no Zenaida Gonzalez. But there was definitely a girl named Zenaida A----o in Casey's class (2003) at Colonial High School. And several Fernandezes and Gonzalezes.
Back in 2008, I saw and copied the 2003 and 2004 alumni lists on the CHS web site. They are saved on my PC, but I can't c/p here because the rich text formatting is all scrambled now, d/t a couple of hard-drive transfers since then. Unfortunately, a quick check at CHS's web site reveals that the alumni lists aren't there anymore, so I'm sorry not to be able to provide a link.
(P.S. In addition to a Zenaida, Casey's classmate list includes the names Jennifer, Rosa, Raquel, and Farrell (possible building blocks for names of the imaginary roommates of the imaginary nanny), as well as separate first/last names matching up with her imaginary "coworkers" and "bosses" at Universal used in the fake work emails, such as Cheryl, Frank, etc. Oh, and the names of Zanny's imaginary family members are there as well: Samantha, Victor, and Gloria.)
