Taking Flight: Captain’s Report Happy Friday AViAtors! We are at 10,000 feet and the seat belt sign is temporarily off. The skies are looking calm for the time being and we have a plan to navigate the forecasted turbulence. To learn more about this navigation, please see the Town Hall recording from Tuesday evening. And don’t forget to give your crew members a big thank you for all they have done this week to ensure our smooth ride! I couldn’t be doing this without them! Thank you, AVA teachers! Thank you, AVA students!

To Note

As the in-person hybrid students are navigating their return next week, our AVA routines can continue seamlessly. I hope this consistency provides a sense of calm for you and your family.  September 18 K-4 This will be an asynchronous learning day in which students will work on activities independently. Homeroom teachers will check-in with their classes in the morning to kick-off the asynchronous day of learning and will end the day together. Specials classes will continue to run per usual 5-8 This is a regular day of learning for students with an asynchronous homeroom period that may be used as a screen break.
