Teacher Appreciation Week - Yard Signs
The Avoca administration, with support from the PTC, will showcase its deep and sincere gratitude for its extraordinary Avoca educators with custom and free yard signs during National Teacher Appreciation Week 2021, which runs from May 3-7. 

If you would like a free yard sign dropped off at your house (at a socially-safe distance),
please fill out this form and the administration will make sure they are delivered for placement. We thank you in advance for your support!

PTC Executive Board Member Feature 
Say hello to Joanne Routsolias, Secretary for the PTC. This is her first year serving on the board, as well as the Innovation Grants Committee, so read her bio here!

Vaccination Appointment Assistance 
Avoca parent and PTC President Ross Friedman has been volunteering with local groups to locate vaccinations for people and sign them up. He is offering to do the same for any community member who has any eligible family member who has yet to obtain a vaccination.

If you are interested, and in order to get a chance to reserve appointments,
please complete this Google doc. Please note that while the district is grateful for this offer from Ross, the District does not officially endorse this and has no contractual or other arrangement with Ross related to this, i.e. he is not on payroll, etc. Any decision to share information with Ross so he can accomplish this for your family member is entirely between you and Ross. 

AVOCA FOOD SERVICE PROGRAM 
 
Free lunch service if available to all district children under 18 years of age. Parents no longer need to pre-order lunch. Students participating in Remote Learning are also able to pick-up food supplies on Mondays for the week. All students can receive a free lunch. For additional information regarding lunch service at Avoca, please visit our website here.
