AV Traffic Reminders
Over the past few weeks traffic has increased around campus and this has created some safety concerns for our students and families. The AV PTA would like to remind everyone that the safety of our students, staff and families is of the utmost importance.
- Please take your time when driving around campus.
- Be extra cautious when driving through intersections and be on the lookout for pedestrians in the crosswalks.
- When possible, park a few blocks away from campus and walk to & from the gate.
- Utilize crosswalks & crossing guards. Please do not j-walk, walk in the street, or cross without the guard.
- Let’s be good neighbors and not block driveways.
- Please do not park or drop off your child in red zones or double park.
- We encourage walking and biking! There is a bike locker on campus for kids to store their bikes and scooters.
3rd Grade Parents Needed!
Each month, a different grade will be asked to volunteer to keep our drop-off lanes running. Without volunteers, we will have to close the lanes. November is 3rd grade month! If you are a 3rd grade parent, please, please, please sign up for a day or 3 or 4. We need 4 volunteers per day! Sign Up HERE.
AV Playground Supervisor Needed!
Want a job at AV? We have an opening as a playground supervisor. Email Principal Sinclair at [email protected] if you are interested.
