Needs-based parent-teacher conferences

Since we've planned to meet with each parent and their student during the student-led conferences in May, our March conferences have a very limited number of spots. If you need to speak with the 8th grade team as a whole group before the May conference dates, we can send you a conference invitation.  If you do not have any pressing concerns, we are looking forward to seeing you at student-led conferences in May!   To receive a March conference invitation, please email Doug Haskins, dhaskins@avonworth.k12.pa.us.

Field Trip Forms and Payment due Thursday

There are several field trips in March and May. Please return the permission form and payment to Mr. Smith by Thursday, March 5, 2015. 

Read more from the 8th grade blog.
