Avery, CA...Welcome back Avery Hawks! I am excited to report that we have started out this year with virtually no discipline issues! The 7th and 8th grade classes and I talked at the beginning of the year and agreed that if we can keep discipline down to a minimum, we will add an additional fun activity for all students i.e., dance, water day, etc. I hope we can achieve this goal! The 6th, 7th and 8th grade students this year are well behaved, funny, caring, and smart! All three grade levels have iPads. Both 7th and 8th graders are taking iPads home this year. We are working on opening a video studio as well as a music studio. Avery has been invited to apply, for a third year in a row, to be an Apple Distinguished School....
