AVA Family Update

I have two items of note this week.

1. Our Homecoming Dance is Friday, November 22. Interested students should email me so I can get you the appropriate paperwork.

2. Our trimester one progress reports are coming up. Grades will posted on November 6.

The schedule and the guidance and community updates are listed below as usual, and I have left up the vital information for seniors a second week in case you missed it last week.

Thank you for your time.
