Keeping Dragon Families Informed & Connected!
Please join us in welcoming Whitney Maddox as our new Interim Assistant Principal at Avoca Elementary!
Here is a little bit about Whitney, in her own words:
"I am so excited to join the Avoca Dragon Family as your new Assistant Principal! My journey in education began with a K-6 Elementary Education degree and student teaching in the elementary setting. Over the past 15 years, I've taught 8th grade science for ten years at Vance Middle School (now Tennessee Middle), served as the BTCS 6-12 Science Instructional Coach for two years, and spent the last three years focused on 6-8 curriculum, instruction, assessment, and data at Tennessee Middle School. Now, I'm excited to bring my experience full circle and return to the elementary level where my passion for education began.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our daughter, as well as making memories with friends and family. I love to cheer on the UT Vols, singing, enjoying the beach and working out!
What excites me most about this role is the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with the Avoca faculty, staff, students, and families. I look forward to partnering with Mrs. Light and the incredible Avoca team to foster a positive environment for teaching and learning. I look forward to meeting Avoca students and families! Together, we will continue to make Avoca Elementary a place where every student thrives!
Go Dragons!"
Avoca uses PikMyKid to help make dismissal safer, faster, and more organized. The app allows families to communicate dismissal changes, notify the school when they've arrived for pickup, and helps us ensure every student goes home with the correct person.
If you haven't already, please download the PikMyKid app and set up your account. When you arrive on campus, be sure to announce that you're here through the app so our staff can begin preparing your child for dismissal.
For everyone's safety, please have your car tag visible at all times during pickup. If you do not have your car tag, you will need to provide your student's PikMyKid ID so we can verify the correct student is being picked up.
If you have any questions about setting up or using PikMyKid, please reach out to your student's teacher. Thank you for helping us keep dismissal safe, smooth, and efficient for all of our students!
