Congratulations to senior Trinity Rodriguez, who was selected by the Avalon faculty and staff and her classmates, as the 2022-2023 Daughters of the American Revolution Good Citizen representative for Avalon School. The Ellis County DAR hosted a special Patriot's Tea on Sunday, February 5, to honor all of the Ellis County school representatives.

Avalon ISD is exploring the idea of a 4-Day Instructional Week calendar to pilot beginning in the 2023-2024 school year. For many, a 4-day Instructional Week may seem like a new idea. However, more than 1,600 schools around the US and more than 40 schools in Texas currently offer a 4-day instructional week calendar. Even more Texas schools are considering the move to a 4-Day Instructional Week Calendar for the 2023-2024 school year. The 4-day instructional week calendar has allowed innovative school districts across the country to attract and retain high-quality teachers to provide effective instruction for students.
