The iPads Have Landed in Avery ~By John Hamilton |

Avery, CA...Last Thursday night the Avery Middle School Library was filled with parents, students and technology fans attending a presentation on the new iPad program for 6-8th graders at Avery. The Vallecito School district is stepping out to the cutting edge for technology in the classroom and for their students. While there will no doubt be some naysayers as to the cost it may actually provide cost savings over the long run. The plan is to start pushing course materials to the devices and save on textbooks. This can provide some very real cost savings..

Last year the children of Avery Middle School were asked to write a letter to the school board detailing what life would be like without music. While some were profound and eloquent, the basic message was, “life would be pretty boring” said Booster President and mom Vicki Johnson. While most school districts across the state and the country are seeing huge cuts to the arts budget Vicki says that strong community, teacher and parent collaboration and involvement keep their music, art, and sports programs up and running. “We all work together for the benefit of the students.” Music instructor Patty Struvie reiterates those same thoughts, commending the community, teachers, and parents for their support and collaboration....

As we enter into a new school year, it is important to keep the community aware of the challenging issues facing the Calaveras Unified School District and what we are doing in response. It is no secret that we are enduring significant fiscal challenges at the state and local level with no real indication that we will see improvements in the near future. The resulting impact on our district budget, coupled with our dramatically declining enrollment, has put our district in a position where we have to make profound and painful decisions in an effort to remain fiscally solvent.....
