8th Grade Civics students spent the day honoring our nation's veterans by attending the annual Veterans Day Experience Workshop at the Heinz History Center. 

The past few years have created challenges for many families and students. Families have struggled with financial hardships, food insecurities, and other important family issues. This year, the Avonworth School District is partnering with our local charity, Avonworth Communities Together (ACT), to help raise funds for our needy families during this holiday season thru December 15th. 

On "Giving Tuesday”, which is November 28^th, we are excited to announce we have a partner that is willing to match up to $5,000 of everything collected. Therefore, “WE” Need YOUR Help this week!

With Thanksgiving approaching, we enter that time of the year when the weather could impact our school schedule. As we prepare for the possibility of weather-related delays and closings, we want to make sure families are as prepared as possible.  

Dear Avonwoth School Community,

I hope this message finds you well and enjoying these beautiful fall days. With fall in full swing, we have crossed the first quarter mark for the 2023-2024 school year. After each quarter, I will send an update on our renovation/construction project.

Safety will always be a top priority for the Avonworth School District. Each summer, we examine our emergency operations plan for the coming year. The district has trained threat assessment teams and a strong working relationship with Ohio Township police and emergency responders. In addition, we practice and refine emergency procedures throughout the year. We share this message to proactively allow families to discuss school safety before the school year.
