I think this is year number 39 and it never gets old! Something very special about the first day of school. I can't wait to see all our Pirates Tommorow. Get ready for a fun and challenging year. We are going to push the students hard academically and in sports and other extracurricular activities. Embrace hard, Iron sharpens iron. We sail at 8:10!
Welcome back to a new school year!
We are so excited to start tomorrow!!
As a reminder, we will be utilizing our one-way drop-off again for the school year. Please enter Pine Street from the north and drive south. If you plan to walk in with your child, please park on the west side of Pine Street to avoid stopping the flow of traffic as students are being dropped off by the sidewalk.
This will also be utilized during drop-off for a late start, if we should have one.
If you have questions, please ask!

Have an instrument collecting dust? How about giving it some new life by either donating it to the Avon Band department or loaning it out to be used by a student! A great way to pay it forward and keep that instrument in tune. Talk to Mr. Kuhlman or Mrs Schultz if interested.
Congratulations to the Avon School and the Avon Community Library for being awarded the Community Helping Hands Award from the School Administrators of SD.This award recognizes a school and their non-school community partner for their outstanding collaboration in implementing a successful program, project or activity.
