AVS PARENT & FAMILY GROUP
The AVS Parent & Family Group, the school’s parent/caregiver association, has two main jobs: building community among AVS families and supporting the school through teacher-appreciation activities and on-campus volunteering. In 2022-23, PFG efforts included recruiting and training grade parents; celebrating faculty and staff with gifts of recognition throughout the year and a party for Teacher Appreciation Week; running the AVS school store; answering questions at Admissions events and sharing information about school life with new families; and organizing social events like the back-to-school picnic, school camping trips and a few parents’ nights out. ExComm, the PFG’s Executive Committee of organizers/super- volunteers, meet with school administrators throughout the year, and help set goals and make plans for various aspects of school life. We are always looking for new folks to join this group and help make our school culture as fun, supportive, and inclusive as it can be. Email parentgroup@altavistaschool.org if you’d like to learn more! Thank you for being in community with us!
