Governing Board Openings
Per Aspen View Academy By-laws, three seats on the Aspen View Academy Governing Board will be ending in May, 2022. One of the seats is an elected seat. The additional two seats are appointed, and will be appointed by the AVA Board of Directors at their May 19th, 2022 meeting.
Board Election Process
If you would like to be considered for the elected 3-year term on the AVA Board of Directors, please complete the nomination form. The nomination will require 10 signatures of eligible voters: AVA parents and staff. The form must be turned in to the AVA front office by Wednesday April 15th at 4:00pm. When submitted, the form will be time stamped, and you will be given a receipt acknowledging acceptance of the nomination form. If there is only one nominee, the nominee will win the seat, and there will be no election. If no nominations are received, the current AVA Board of Directors will appoint the seat.
Candidates are required to submit a campaign questionnaire to answer a few basic questions about board service. When submitted, the answers may not exceed two pages and must be submitted by April 15th at 4:00pm to Troy Schroeder (Board President) at tschroeder@aspenviewacademy.org. The campaign questionnaire for each candidate will be posted on the school website and emailed to the school community on April 18th. There will be a candidate forum at the AVA board meeting on April 21st as part of the Board’s Working Session.
The election will take place May 16th through May 18th. There will be a ballot box at the front office. Each parent and AVA staff member may vote per AVA Board Election Policy. No Proxy voting will be allowed.
The election committee requests that all candidates and members of the AVA community abide by the following expectations:
- Focus on philosophy, policy, and issues
- No personal attacks
- No campaigning on school property
- Keep the campaign positive in nature, reflecting the R.E.S.P.E.C.T. values of AVA
The election committee reserves the right to disqualify any candidate who fails to abide by these expectations.
The AVA Election Committee will tabulate the votes and announce the results at the May 19th AVA Board meeting. The AVA board will also appoint the two member seats at the AVA Board meeting May 19th.

It does not have to be a Rockies jersey or even a baseball jersey, it can be any sport. Have some fun and show off your favorite team. If you do not want to wear a jersey, you can wear your spirit wear shirts. Students can wear any AVA t-shirt or sweatshirt purchased from the Wolf Shack or from a Wolf Run, etc. All students must wear their uniform bottoms.

Welcome to another school year at Aspen View Academy. 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.
Pre-registration is required prior to volunteering. Please visit the Raptor Volunteer site, as this only needs to be completed one time. Once completed we will need you to bring your ID in to scan and link to your profile.
These volunteer opportunities can also be found on the volunteer page of our website.
