It was so good to see everyone that came out to our Back 2 School Event today 😎 If families were not able to pick up student devices already, please drop by our main office sometime next week during business hours so that students are ready to sign in on the first day of school.


Our Back 2 School Event is tomorrow from 11 am-2 pm. Our teachers & staff members are busy prepping for the team to see students & their families. We are excited!




We hope to see all AVS families at the Back 2 School Event on Saturday, 8/19/2023. If you haven't already signed up, please do so by 8/16/2023 so that we know how much food (free) to prepare. https://rb.gy/s1odj It is an excellent time to pick up new student devices.


An application must be completed to receive free or reduced school meals for the new school year. 🥪 If your school is already eligible for free meals or you bring lunch from home, the application is still worthwhile as it provides waivers for testing and college applications! 🖥️ lunchapplication.com
