Welcome!

Below is the email sent to parents and guardians through the Edline messaging system.

Dear parent/guardian,

Welcome!

On behalf of the 8th grade team, I want to welcome you to another great year at Avonworth Middle School! For our students and your son/daughter, this is an important year. It is our goal to help prepare our students for the challenges and demands of high school. Hopefully, your son/daughter will find the eighth grade to be an exciting time, as well as a time for growth and new experiences.

We understand that the start of the new school year can be hectic. Please use the resources below to help you and your family prepare for the first day of school. The 8th grade team and I are excited to meet your son/daughter on Tuesday! Happy New School Year!

Sincerely,

Doug Haskins
science teacher/AMS 8 team technology & communications
