Bell Schedule For 1st Day of School
How do you pick up your schedule and ID?
- You can check PowerSchool as early as Aug. 5th to see your schedule. Log into your Power School account and see your schedule live. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MAY SEE CHANGES to your schedule. We HIGHLY SUGGEST you do a final check to your schedule after Friday, August 5th at 5pm (when first day schedules lock).
- You can pick up your schedule and ID on the first day from the big gym. Every enrolled student's schedule and ID will be in the large gym for pickup. Please head to the gym first thing upon arrival at school. Gates open 8:15 am.
What do you do if you NEED a schedule change?
- We will not make schedule changes at this point unless you have a missing class period, a class on your schedule that you have passed, a missing senior grad requirement class, or a duplicate class.
- If you have a missing class period, a class on your schedule that you have already passed, a missing senior grad requirement class, or a duplicate class, you go to room 307 on the first day of school DURING THE PERIOD where the error exists.
- The counselor's focus during the first week of school will be to fix schedules that meet the conditions above. Requests for teacher changes, period changes, or lunch changes will not be processed. Schedules are made off student's course selections or counselor direction based on graduation requirements. If you have any questions regarding your schedule that does not meet the above conditions, please reach out to your counselor, but expect delays in response time this first week of school.
Who is my counselor?
This isn't the elective I signed up for. Can I request a change?
How do you know which lunch you have, A or B?
Your lunch is determined by your 4th-period class. To see what lunch you have, look for the A or B next to the classroom number of your 4th-period class. See the picture below for an example. DO NOT LOOK NEXT TO THE PERIOD NUMBER (that is "A" track and is listed on all students), you need to look for the letter next to your 4th-period classroom number.
"A" LUNCH - If you have A Lunch, you will have lunch after 3rd period.
"B" LUNCH - If you have B Lunch, you will have lunch after 4th period.
I want to change lunches. Can I request a lunch change?
Is there a dress code?

How does my child get lunch?
Lunch is free for all and can be found at the multiple lunch sites on campus.
This change means students are not required to complete a meal application or provide any specific documentation, however, we are still required to gather family income and demographic information to ensure that your student benefits from additional state and federal programs that are available.
The California Department of Education uses this confidential information to identify qualifications for additional funding that provides for many programs and opportunities for our students. Based on the information provided, eligible students may receive fee waivers for the PSAT, SAT, free college applications, or much more. The AVUHSD is eligible for additional supplemental and targeted funding for our student programs and services based on a variety of factors, including this data.

How do I get my books?
- Students can pick up books before school, during breaks, and after school
- Some teachers will bring entire classes to the book depository to get books
If you have books from previous years, PLEASE BRING IN YOUR OLD BOOKS. We both need the books and do not want to see delays in the graduation process.
