As I enter my second year on the Aspen View Board of Directors, I continue to be amazed at the dedicated staff, administration, and parents we are lucky to have participating in our kids’ education. Our staff at AVA goes above and beyond every day to make sure our kids are educated in a safe and caring environment. Principal Barber wears so many hats, from managing the school’s day-to-day operations, overseeing the new construction, and all else he does every single day to make AVA the incredible school it is. This brings me to our role as the school’s governing board. We do not manage the day-to-day operations within the school. Since the founding of AVA, it has been the intention of the Board to set the mission and vision of the school and then to partner with the Administration in a way that helps them to achieve the underlying objectives within both. It is also important to remember that your board members are full-time working professionals with a wide variety of experiences and backgrounds. In fact, this diverse background has had a lot to do with the success of our school, and our varied opinions and insight have helped to navigate challenges we have faced as a Board. Lastly, our board members are all parents with the same desire as you, to put our kids in a school that focuses on developing the whole child in a differentiated environment, as AVA does so well.

Thank you,

Tracy Popovic

Board Secretary and PTO Liaison

Your Child's Data

As you look through your child's Thursday folder this week, you should see data from your child's beginning of the school year assessments. This data represents your child's knowledge in different content areas in one snippet of time. Our teachers and administrative team find this data helpful as we look at how to best serve your child here at AVA. If you have any questions or concerns about the data, please reach out to your child's homeroom teacher.

Welcome to another school year at Aspen View. We have a lot of volunteer opportunities so keep a look out for Sign-up Genius', Newsletter announcements and emails from the PTO. Below is an excerpt from the AVA Handbook.

VOLUNTEERING COMMITMENT – AVA believes that the success of each student will be a shared responsibility of students, teachers, parents, staff, and community leaders. Volunteers enhance the school and its culture and character through their involvement. Accordingly, a strong family involvement program will be implemented. AVA expects 30 volunteer hours per family per school year. Single-parent families are expected to volunteer 15 hours per school year. The volunteer school year shall coincide with AVA’s fiscal year, and hours shall accrue from July 1 through June 30. If your family has special circumstances that make it difficult for you to meet the expected volunteer hours, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator. Many volunteer opportunities exist within AVA’s PTO. The PTO is an organization comprised of parent volunteers for the purpose of providing community support, fundraising and planning various events within our school community.

Preregistration on the Raptor Volunteer site is required, this only needs to be completed one time.

To log volunteer hours, please visit the Volunteer Portal.

These volunteer opportunities can also be found on the volunteer page of our website.
