Avoca West News

Registration for the 2024-2025 opened on April 15. This is for all students of Avoca -- not just new students! If you haven't received the registration email or have any questions, please email registration@avoca37.org. Each returning student will receive a separate email containing an embedded "snapcode" which is unique to that student. Please complete registration by May 30, 2024.

Similar to last year, Pre-K students enrolled at Avoca Community Preschool will not receive a returning student registration link. If your child is transitioning to kindergarten at Avoca West, you will receive a new student registration link once we have received all required pre-registration documents.

Moving out of District? If your student will not be attending an Avoca school next year, please let our awoffice@avoca37.org know. That will help make sure we don't send reminder emails!

As part of the District's Strategic Plan (Objective 1C), this school year we partnered with Northwestern University's Center for Talent Development to conduct a review of our Advanced Learner programming.

A component of this process includes focus group sessions for parents and caregivers to share their perspectives on their student’s learning. These sessions will be held virtually and are completely optional. Parents and caregivers are invited to attend during the dates and times listed. No registration is required. To participate, click on the banner below at your preferred date and time. You can also use the Zoom meeting room link provided.

This week we capped off Volunteer Appreciation Week by hosting a Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast at Avoca West. The guest list included so many who have made an impact on our students and school community. From the PTC leadership, membership, Science Olympiad coaches, School Board Members, and so many others who quietly step in when help is needed -- we couldn't do it without you! Our Chamber Orchestra performed for the group and it was a magical way to start the day!
