AVA Family Update
December 21, 2023
Good morning AVA Students and Families,
I have next week's schedule, our guidance updates, and community notices linked below as usual.
As we begin our Holiday break tomorrow, I once again remind all of our students that I am available via email to unlock tests and provide technical support when needed. I won't check my email all day every day, but I will check it regularly. If you get stuck, don't hesitate to reach out.
From all of us at the AVA, we wish you a joyous holiday season and look forward to seeing you in the New Year.
Thank you for your time.

Guidance Updates
NCAA Registration
Once again, students and families who are interested in participating in collegiate sports through the NCAA. Please register online at the Eligibility Center website (linked HERE) sooner than later. Although you may register even after high school graduation, we strongly recommend doing so while still enrolled in high school to ensure a smoother transfer of school records and information. AVA's CEEB code for NCAA registration is: 220067.
