F.A.N. Watch Party at Marie Murphy: Brave New Worlds: How AI Will Revolutionize Education (And Why That’s a Good Thing)
Whether we like it or not, the AI revolution is coming to education. Have you wondered...
Will apps like ChatGPT hinder my child from learning?
Should teachers ban ChatGPT to curtail cheating?
How can teachers and parents use this new technology to benefit our kids?
Join us for a FAN Watch Party as we listen to Sal Khan, founder of Khan Academy, give his perspective on how GPT technology will transform learning. Hosted via Zoom by the Family Action Network, Sal Khan will delve into how teachers, parents, and students can navigate this exciting new world.
We will also have pizza! We have a FREE BOOK GIVEAWAY for the first 15 registrants who attend; we will give away 15 copies of his newly published book, Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education (And Why That’s a Good Thing).
This is a great opportunity for both parents and educators.
When: Monday, May 20, 7-9 pm
Where: Marie Murphy Porto Community Room
What: Watch Party (7-8 pm), and VIP After-Hours discussion with Sal Khan (8-9 pm)

Help the 6th and 7th graders celebrate the end of the school year on June 6th! We need parent volunteers between 11:15-3:15 to help the teachers in supporting the end-of-year party activities, serve lunch and help clean up. We also need donations for snacks for the kids. All items can either be dropped off at the school on WEDNESDAY, June 5th by 3pm. Contact roopalkundu@gmail.com for more information. Sign up here.
Open: 2024-2025 Returning Student Registration
Registration for the 2024-2025 opened on April 15. 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.
