Great School Spirit last night! The ship was rocking. Hooks Up!

As we start the new semester, we are still utilizing the one-way drop-off before school. If you must come into the building with your student at drop-off, please park along the west side of the street. This will help keep traffic flowing in front of the school on the east side. Thank you for your cooperation!

The Avon School is happy to announce that Macy Voigt has officially signed to play softball at Buena Vista University in Storm Lake IA. Congratulations! We are looking forward to watching Macy continue her softball career.

Our Preschoolers are happy to be back! Happy New Year!
