AVA Family Update
March 8, 2024
Good morning AVA Students and Families,
I have next week's schedule, the guidance and community updates, and important dates below as usual. Please note that Friday is again a half-day for students. I also have an important notice from the APS Special Education Department.
Our grades have closed for Trimester 2. I will be publishing report cards on Wednesday of next week. I will be contacting families personally if there are concerns about student performance. As we are a virtual school that emphasizes flexibility, problems that are revealed by the report cards can often be ameliorated by an extension or two.
Thank you for your time.

This presentation will provide an introduction to parents' rights and responsibilities under current federal and state special education laws, along with tools to help parents participate in their student’s education. Multi-lingual captions will be available. Please see this flier for more information.
