AVA Family Update

I have next week's schedule, the guidance and community updates, and important dates below as usual. I've left the career fair info up for another week.

All students and families should have received their progress reports, and those with AP and MCAS Math responsibilities have been alerted this week. Next week, I will reach out individually to those who will be taking MCAS Science in June (mostly 9th graders). If you have questions about any of this, just let me know.

Thank you for your time.
