Rover's Roundup: AZVA 6-12
Because Coaching Isn’t Just on the Sidelines
Hello AZVA Families!
Dear Learning Coaches,
Can you believe we are already into the second quarter of the school year?! Time flies when you're having fun!
On November 10, we have our Annual Family Fun Day... with a little twist! It will be our first Family Fun Movie Night! We invite all of our families to come meet some of your teachers, administrators, and fellow classmates in person at this exciting event. It will be Tuesday, November 10, from 4:30-7:30pm at the Arizona Athletic Grounds, 6321 S Ellsworth Rd, Mesa, AZ 85212. Note there is no school the next day in observation of Veterans Day.
We envision a future where every student reaches their full potential through personalized learning, inspired teacher, and meaningful opportunities that prepare them to thrive in college, career, and life. Every Student. Every Path. Every Possibility.
Yours in Education,
AZVA 6-12 Team

🚀 The K12 Zone is the perfect place for a brain break! Students can meet friends during our live hangout hours or explore the resources available to them (new zones monthly!)

AZVA K12 Zone Hours:
Monday–Friday: 2:00 - 6:00 PM
Did you know Learning Coaches are required to log attendance each day for all students? Any attendance from past school days that was missed should still be entered. Attendance should include time spent in live class sessions, independent study, and any outside-the-classroom learning experiences for each student.
Suggested attendance hours per grade level:
Grade 6: Daily Hours: 5
Grades 7-12: Daily Hours: 6
Stay on track! To avoid the risk of withdrawal, please ensure your student doesn't miss more than 10% of their required attendance. Reach out to your teachers if you have any questions!

Let's take a look at some wonderful things going on in our classrooms!
8th Grade Science hosted their first Science Showdown during science workshop on Wednesday, September 16. Science Workshop is a weekly opportunity for students to review concepts and prepare for AZSci Testing in April. Science Showdown happens once a month during this time.
Mrs. Shakespear's, Mrs. Cabrera's, and Mrs. Razo's students participated in a game show style review of Newton's Laws of Motion. We played the theme song, analyzed the data set, and the competition was fierce! It finished in a three-way tie! All classes have 16 points! They will meet again November 4. Who will be the top science class at the end of the year?! 🏆
Mrs. Pettit's 6th graders shared what they learned in World History class. Take a look at all the unique ways they demonstrated their new knowledge!
¿Hablas español? It doesn't matter if you are just beginning to learn Spanish, want to embrace your heritage language, or want to continue practicing your native language; AZVA has the technology to make it happen and the right instructor to support you! Señora Shriner's Spanish students created some videos to share their growing language skills. Grades 8-11, let your counselor know if you'd like to take Spanish next semester!
