From the Principal...Kristy McKnight
On Monday, I received a small act of kindness from a student in the building. An incredibly sweet, handwritten Valentine's Day card was left for me in my mailbox. This gesture truly embodies what Random Acts of Kindness is all about - a thoughtful act that makes a huge difference in someone's day. Thank you to those of you that helped spread kindness and encouraged your children to spread kindness in our Ferson community this week. I challenge everyone to continue small acts of kindness throughout the second half of the year!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Kristy McKnight

Water Bottles Needed!
AVIC needs your plastic water bottles and caps for our upcoming session! Send in your empty water bottles with caps and have your student put them in the box in the lobby marked AVIC WATER BOTTLES. Thanks again for your continued support!

Middle School Transfer Requests
Middle School Transfer requests may may be submitted February 3 through February 28. Families must complete a separate form for each student. Requests are granted based on space available so siblings are not guaranteed placement. A written decision will be communicated to families before spring break.
Once the request is approved, a student may remain at that middle school throughout his or her middle school career, as long as the student resides in District 303.
Families of students granted permission to attend a school outside of their assigned attendance are responsible for their own transportation.
Students will return to their assigned attendance area high school regardless of the middle school attended.
