Dear Aviano Elementary Families,

As we approach the end of Quarter 3 on March 25, our students continue to stay engaged in meaningful learning, collaboration, and exciting classroom activities across our school. We are proud of the growth and effort we see each day. Thank you for your continued partnership and support in helping our students succeed.

Thank you to our PTA for organizing a wonderful Book Fair. Our students truly enjoyed exploring new books and sharing their excitement for reading. Families still have the opportunity to participate, come browse the shelves, discover new stories, and celebrate the joy of reading with your child. We also invite you to attend the Parent Afternoon. Please refer to the email sent for specific date and time details.
