Today's virtual learning tip: communicate with teachers! Teachers want to help you but they are not mind readers. It is especially important to communicate when you need help with something.
If you have a question, reach out by sending a message during synchronous class. You can also send teachers an email or ask a question during intervention time.
The sooner you ask for help, the better. Don't wait - reach out to your teacher as soon as possible when you need help.

Meet this week’s staff member: Erica Johnson! She is the data manager at at AVS.
Did you know that Ms. Johnson’s favorite school subject was dance? If she could travel anywhere, she would go to Bali. Her favorite tradition is movie night at home in her den.
Ms. Johnson chose to work at AVS because she wanted to try something different. She wanted to be one of the first in the district to do what we're doing at AVS!
Thanks Ms. Johnson for all you do at AVS! Tune in next Monday to meet the next AVS team member!
