Your invaluable insights and feedback have played a significant role in making our school community thrive. See info below or CLICK HERE to give us your feedback.

Fall Climate Survey
In our ongoing commitment to provide the best possible learning environment for our students, we are launching the Fall Climate Survey. Your participation in this survey is crucial, especially given the positive momentum we have experienced together. We understand that taking a survey takes valuable time, but your feedback is worth the investment of that time.
By sharing your thoughts, you contribute to shaping not only the academic experience but also the overall well-being of our students. Your input will help us identify areas of strength and opportunities for growth, ensuring that our school remains a place of inspiration and achievement.
We sincerely appreciate your time and effort in completing the Fall Climate Survey. Together, we can continue to make a difference in the lives of our students.
Thank you for your ongoing support.

VIRTUAL *LIVE* Tutoring (Virtual Tutoring with a Live Person)
Did you know that your student has LIVE 24 HOUR FREE tutoring available in your student's PowerSchool? Our district has partnered with Princeton Review to provide every student with this amazing service. Your student can be connected with a tutor in any subject any time of the day, for FREE. These are not videos, they are live, vetted, tutors. Think of Uber, but for tutoring! The tutors will even edit papers for your student with less than a 24 hour turn-a-round period.
The easiest way to access this free, live, virtual tutoring, is to have your student log into google with their school account, log into Power School, look on the left side of the screen and find the live tutor button, and follow the easy to follow directions from there. If you need assistance, CLICK HERE or the button below for a tutorial.
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.
Lancaster parents, we need your help! Please, regardless of qualifications, or social-economic standing, please help us provide the best opportunities that we can for our students by taking the few minutes it takes to fill out this form. If you need any assistance filling out this form, email food@avhsd.org.
