Mrs. Gina Rubert

I hope everyone enjoys their first 3-day weekend of the year and is looking forward to our 4-day school week! 

This week is MAPS Testing for our Math and Reading! Since students will be working hard on their tests, homework will be lighter than usual. Please make sure your child is getting plenty of sleep each night and eating a good breakfast each morning so they are ready to do their best. Quick reminder that we will also be working on a River's Project and if you signed up to send in materials, please have those sent in with your student or dropped off at the Front Office by Tuesday, September 2nd. 

This week, AVA will be having our Curriculum Night on Thursday, September 4th from 6:00–7:10 pm. Third grade presentations will begin around 6:40 pm, our administration is still finalizing the schedule, but I will send it out as soon as it is ready. We encourage you to attend if possible, as it is a great opportunity to meet your child’s skill group teachers and learn more about classroom routines and expectations for that specific skills group. 

Looking ahead, our Boosterthon Fundraiser will begin next week! The kickoff will be on September 8th with an assembly at the end of the day, and the event will run through the week, ending with our Fun Run on September 17th. I will be sending updates about this as we get closer! 

Finally, if anyone is able to donate small water bottles and community snacks, it would be greatly appreciated!
