It's Gifted Education Week! During the fall semester, our gifted students at Avon are excelling with the Big Idea - "The Ongoing Progress of Innovation," as they delve into aerospace with a curriculum that spans from historical milestones in aeronautics to hands-on learning about the forces of flight. Their exploration of flight began with ancient kites and continues to the breakthroughs of the Wright brothers, integrating scientific principles like Bernoulli's Principle that explain how lift is achieved. They participated in science stations to test Newton's Laws of Motion and learned about the forces that affect flight- lift, drag, weight/gravity and thrust. A recent field trip to the Kennedy Space Center has ignited excitement for the upcoming focus on astronautics, showcasing the evolution of space exploration from Apollo 11 to present-day innovations like SpaceX. Gifted minds truly are taking flight at Avon!

Dear Parents and Guardians of Highlands County bus riders:
Highlands County school buses are now equipped with GPS technology that may benefit your household, as your student(s) use their Bus Pass/Student ID Card/Student ID number to sign on and off the bus as they board and exit the bus. The WheresTheBusTM parent app lets you know precisely when your child’s bus will arrive at your bus stop. This app is free to all Highlands County bus-riding households. The system also helps Transportation efficiently manage our bus fleet routes.
To use the WheresTheBusTM app, download the WheresTheBusTM app from the App Store (iOS / Apple) or Google Play Store (Android). You will be prompted to create an account. Select Highlands County from the dropdown menu and provide your student’s information. Once your student’s information is verified, you will create an account and will be able to log in and access the app.
We encourage you to try this exciting new technology, as we continually strive to provide you with the best possible transportation service.
Thank you to Bealls of Avon Park for collecting and donating supplies for our school!
Thank you to the donor who came in over the summer and donated 2 $100 Gift cards to our school. The gift cards were given to two new teachers to help them start out the school year. Ms. Barnhart and Ms. Desai were happy to be able to purchase some useful supplies for their classrooms.
