Don't forget track practice!
Good evening, Avalon Families.
This is a reminder of our upcoming semester exams. I also wish to remind everyone that Friday, December 19th, is the ONLY early release day (@ 1:00). I have included a copy of the district calendar, which was updated in August.
*First and Second period exams are scheduled for Wednesday (12/17) @ 9:15 & 2:14.
*Third and Fourth Period Exams are Thursday (12/18) @ 9:15 & 2:14.
*Fifth and Sixth Period Exams are Friday (12/19) @ 9:15 & 10:30.
I hope this clears any confusion.
We wish our students the very best on their exams. We also wish all Avalon Families a Merry Christmas and Safe & Happy New Year.
Thank you and Go KINGHTS!
Don't forget! Get your picture made again!

The first semester of school is rapidly winding down. I have sent many letters home with children who's grades need attention.
