Are you Ready? We sure are! The start of school is quickly approaching, and everyone at AVA is excited to welcome the students back for an amazing year. It has been a busy summer at school with hiring new teachers and staff, giving the inside of the building some needed facelifts, and training to make sure that we provide your children with an outstanding education in a safe, caring environment.
One of my top priorities for this year is to make sure that AVA has a culture where parents and students love the school. You all should feel welcome at school, and your kids should love coming to school everyday. This is their school. They need to come to school every day knowing that they will be challenged, they will be cared for, they will learn so many new and exciting things, they will be supported, they will have fun, and they belong.
One thing that has really defined AVA is the Capturing Kids Hearts program. I am pleased to announce that this program will continue. A primary component of the program is doing what we can to lessen the anxiety of our students. Doing so will increase performance and student motivation and improve student behavior. When kids know what is expected, know that it is OK to take chances and to make mistakes, they will be better students and learn more.
The idea of the social contract is important because it gives students the opportunity to participate in expressing what is important to them. They can discuss how they want to be treated and what that looks like. They are empowered to be leaders in the classroom and the school.
Thank you for entrusting us with your child. It is a responsibility that we do not take lightly. Our staff is committed to working hard and demonstrating why Aspen View Academy is the best school for your child.
