Dear Husky Families,

We are incredibly proud of our student leaders and the positive choices they continue to make through our PAWS Rewards Program. Their growth, responsibility, and leadership truly shine each day. Report cards will be available on April 1, which is a great opportunity for families to reflect together, celebrate progress, and revisit goals and roles for the remainder of the year.

Please remember that April 2 is World Autism Day, and we will be wearing blue to show our support and acceptance. Thank you for partnering with us to help your child stay proactive, make good choices, and continue to follow our PAWS values at school and beyond. We are proud of all they are becoming!

Purpose & Date: The Evening of Excellence on May 19, 2026 celebrates students’ outstanding academic accomplishments, honoring their hard work, commitment, and dedication to success.

Academic Excellence Award: Given to students who earned all A’s during the first three marking periods of the current school year.

Academic Achievement Award: Given to students who earned a combination of A’s and B’s during the first three marking periods of the current school year.

Pride of the Pack (8th Grade Only): A prestigious award for 8th graders demonstrating sustained academic excellence, requiring final A grades in all 6th and 7th grade classes, and all A’s (weighted for honors) in every 8th grade quarter; note that Quarter 4 is not included since the ceremony occurs before final grades are available.

 Notes:

 Virtual core classes (including required reading) do count for Evening of Excellence.

High school classes count only if they are core academic (e.g., Algebra II counts; electives like Italian do not).

Additional electives taken outside Avalon (e.g., FLVS electives) do not count.

All quarter grades must be available; missing grades (e.g., no Q1) make a student ineligible.

-Mark your calendars for our SAC meetings for this school year: 9/22, 10/27, 11/17, 2/23, 3/23, and 4/27.

-Thank you for your incredible support of the SAC Storage Closet! Thank you Ms. Bethany for your leadership!
