AVA Family Update

I have three items of note this week.

1. There will be no school Tuesday, but students can use this time to catch-up or try and get ahead. Students can email me that day if they need something unlocked.

2. Trimester grades will be posted next Wednesday.

3. We have MCAS retesting on Wednesday and Thursday. I've already reached out to those we expect to see (thank you to those who responded to my request for confirmation) and I will send one more reminder on Monday.

I didn't hear from anyone about attending the Homecoming Dance last week, and if you want to go, you need to email ASAP at this point.

Thank you for your time.

In the coming weeks during Mr Holmes' Advisory, AVA Guidance will help students explore the below Naviance surveys and activities to facilitate the post-secondary process.
