Upcoming Student Survey
Avon Grove School District is committed to ensuring that every student feels connected, accepted, and valued as part of our school community. As part of our Comprehensive Plan, one of our strategic initiatives focuses on ensuring that all students feel connected and safe at school to support their well-being. To help measure progress toward this goal, the district will administer a brief, anonymous survey to students in all grades. This survey was developed by a team of Avon Grove educators and adapted to meet the developmental needs of various age groups. Input from students will guide our ongoing efforts to strengthen programs and practices so that every student can thrive in a positive, supportive environment. Surveys will be administered during the week of February 2nd. If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact your building administrator.

Hello Class of 2026 Parents and Guardians!
As we begin to look towards the end of the school year, many exciting events will be taking place for our seniors. Including the Senior Class Trip to Hershey Park on Thursday, May 28, 2026. In order to make this trip possible we need help from some of you! We need chaperones to make this trip possible!

We will be taking school buses to Hershey Park and it is a requirement that you ride the school bus up to help with the students on the bus. Your ticket would be paid for, lunch is provided courtesy of PACE, it is a catered buffet lunch,as well as you would receive a chaperone t-shirt to wear the day of!
