As we prepare for the new school year at AVECHS, we're excited to share that all students will receive their school supplies on the first day of school. Families do not need to purchase school supplies before the school year begins.
The only item students will need to bring is a backpack to carry their supplies and school materials.
If a course requires any additional class-specific materials, the classroom teacher will communicate those needs after the school year begins. This ensures families only purchase items that are truly necessary.
AVECHS is committed to removing barriers so every student is prepared for success on the first day of school. We look forward to welcoming our Mighty Owls back for an outstanding school year!
Bus routes and transportation information for the 2026–2027 school year are still being finalized. We understand families are eager to receive this information and will share routes, pickup/drop-off times, and other transportation details as soon as they become available.
If you need bus transportation information before it is released, please contact Boone Transportation directly at (575) 882-3613 for assistance.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as final transportation plans are completed.
