The SDHSAA Academic Achievement Team Award is designed to recognize varsity athletic teams and fine arts groups for their academic excellence. The SDHSAA believes that high school students learn in two distinct ways: inside classroom and outside the classroom on the stage and on the athletic field. The SDHSAA Academic Achievement Team Award program is designed to create a positive environment, as well as an incentive, to encourage school "teams" to have their members excel both in the classroom and the activity. The Avon Teams that have qualified for this award are the following:
*All-State Chorus
*Boys Basketball
*Boys and Girls Basketball Cheerleaders
*Football Cheerleaders
*Girls Basketball
*Girls Wrestling
*One-Act Play
*Oral Interpretation
*Volleyball

The Boy's Basketball Team will play Freeman Academy - Marion on Saturday, February 17 in Scotland at 12:30 pm at the Great Plains Conference Tournament.
The Avon School Board voted to amend the 23-24 school calendar at yesterday’s board meeting. The first three snow days will be made up on Tuesday, May 14, Wednesday, May 15, and Thursday, May 16. The fourth snow day will not be made up at this time unless Avon would have more snow days this winter or spring. Therefore, Friday, February 23 will remain a NO SCHOOL day, so students, staff, and parents can attend the State Wrestling Tourney in Sioux Falls.
The Avon School District has joined districts across the state to thank school board members for their leadership and service to our school and community during School Board Recognition Week! Thank you to Bridgette Muller, Joe Sees, David Ratzlaff, Jeff Tolsma, and Craig Vanderlei for their dedication to our children and our community!
In education, the school and parents work together towards the success of every student. If you would please fill out the survey, this will help us to find areas of growth for our school. Mrs. Dykstra will also have a couple of devices set up at her table during conferences if you’d like to stop and fill out the survey then.
Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey! We appreciate your feedback.
