Hello Mustangs!
NWEA began this week
We started NWEA math testing this week and it has gone very well overall. Next week we will be testing the English classes. Parents, please encourage your student to do their best on the NWEA and refrain from using any other device to assist them. The purpose of this assessment is to measure growth and give an accurate measure of your student’s current academic level. This will not affect their grades.
Farewell and Best Wishes to an Avondale Great!
Mrs. Amy Thornton’s last day will be Sept. 30th. She has made the decision to take the next step in her life and enjoy a well-deserved retirement. We can’t thank Mrs. Thornton enough for her service, her smile, and her exemplary teaching. I encourage anyone that would like to write Mrs. Thornton a card to send it to the AMS main office and we will make sure it gets to her.
Thank you, Mrs. Thornton and congratulations on your retirement!
