Dear Aviano Elementary Families,
As we continue through the busy month of May, we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our families who showed appreciation during Teacher Appreciation Week. Your kind messages, notes, and thoughtful gestures truly meant so much to our staff.
A special thank you to our PTA for planning such meaningful surprises throughout the week. Your generosity and care made this time even more special and uplifting for our teachers.
May is a time when we celebrate growth, reflect on how far our students have come, and enjoy these final moments together as a school community. Thank you for your continued support and partnership as we finish the year strong.
We also invite families to join us for the upcoming School Advisory Committee (SAC) meeting on May 11 at 3:10 PM in the Aviano Library Conference Room. The agenda is included below, and we welcome your participation and input.
Please save the date for Field Day on May 15. We look forward to a fun and active day for our students. More details will be shared soon.
