A Message from Principal Mayo

Good Afternoon AVR Families,

Thank you for your continued support of your student’s academic and behavioral progress. As we approach the end of the first quarter, please take time to review your student’s grades in PowerSchool and confirm that all assignments and missed tasks have been completed. If you have questions or concerns, you may contact your student’s teachers by email or send them a message through Schoology.

Our goal is to collaborate closely with families so that we can identify and provide the support each student needs to be successful. Open and consistent communication between home and school allows us to address concerns early and celebrate progress together.

Please also take a few moments to read all the information included in this week’s newsletter. We have several important dates, events, and opportunities approaching, and we want to ensure that families have enough time to plan so that neither you nor your student misses out.
Thank you for your continued partnership and for helping us fulfill our mission of preparing every student for success. When families, students, and staff work together, we create endless possibilities.

Together We R.I.S.E. One Team. One Mission. Endless Possibilities!

With appreciation,
Principal Mayo

Student Club Selections Are Coming!
Students will soon have an opportunity to review the clubs being offered this school year and make their selections through Schoology. Every student will participate in a club once each month for the remainder of the school year.

Our goal is to provide experiences that are meaningful, engaging, and fun for all participants.
