National School Choice Week!
National School Choice Week and Raise Craze kickoff on January 24th!
IT'S Almost HERE!!! This MONDAY we kick off our largest AGCS school fundraiser, Raise Craze! Our goal this year is $100,000 and 8,000 Acts of Kindness (with some prizes for students along the way)!
Raise Craze is a K-12 fundraiser focused on students completing Acts of Kindness for the school, community, and one another. The best part is they can do it all from home- all they have to do is log in using the QR code or by visiting the Raise Craze logo on student bookmarks.
Does your Middle School or High School student need community service hours? For every 3 acts of kindness, students get an hour of community service. No forms or signatures are required!
Literacy Day & Vocabulary Parade is Coming!
Dear Families:
On Thursday, January 27th we will be holding our annual Literacy Day filled with many hands-on activities to celebrate the joy of reading. At the conclusion of the day, we will hold our Vocabulary Parade!
Students are asked to select a word and turn it into a costume. Costumes will be worn to school and students will proudly show their creativity as they walk in the parade. See below for sample costume ideas.
Our goal is to create a culture where word study is creative, interactive, memorable, and fun! We believe the Vocabulary Parade is one way to help accomplish this goal.
Thank you in advance for helping us turn vocabulary building into a Parade of Words. Please see your teacher’s classroom pages for pictures of this fun event.
The internet is also a great resource for costume ideas. Google and Pinterest can provide you with inspiration.

We've sent all parents/guardians, students, and staff a login ID, password, and instructions for accessing and logging into the AGCS mobile app. The mobile app allows Avon Grove Charter School to deliver important information as well as provide you with access to much of the information you need to stay informed at AGCS. We encourage you to log on to the system to take full advantage of the application. We will also be utilizing the mobile app’s push notifications system.
This integrated mobile app is not designed to replace the PowerSchool app. It is to act in tandem with other apps the school uses, like the PowerSchool app, Schoology, SchoolCafe, etc.
If you need help logging into your account within the mobile app, please submit an IT ticket through the app.
Parent Engagement Series!
At AGCS, we strive to build genuine relationships with our students and their families. Relationships with families support overall family well-being and children's healthy development. When families are engaged, partnerships are created that have a common focus – helping children grow and thrive.
We realize that the current social distancing requirements can be stressful, at best. The global pandemic requires us to re-think how we do even the most normal, everyday tasks and how we navigate it all safely with our children.
To help support our rock star parents through this time, we're offering a free series of Parent Family Engagement Workshops on a variety of topics. We look forward to your joining us!
Please follow this link for upcoming dates, times, and topics.
Parent Hub - Your Communications Resource
Keeping up with your children's school communications, schedule, events, and activities can be a daunting task — especially when you have multiple children at AGCS. We get it! These links will help you navigate quickly to the information you need when you need it.
