Meet this week’s teacher: Mrs. Rose! She is the music teacher and virtual choir director at AVS for grades 6-12. If Mrs. Rose could travel anywhere in the world, she would go to Germany. Her favorite book is The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Outside of school, you might find her baking, working on carpentry projects, and taking walks with her dog, Tovy. Mrs. Rose chose to work at AVS because she loves teaching music online. Before she came to AVS, she taught music fully online for four years! She enjoys finding creative and innovative ways to make music in the virtual environment and helping students reach their full potential. Thanks Mrs. Rose for all you do at AVS! Tune in next Monday to meet the next AVS team member.

Happy new year! We’re back to featuring the awesome teachers, admin, and staff that work at AVS. Meet this week’s teacher: Mr. Cornett! He is an Occupational Course of Study(OCS) teacher at AVS. Did you know that Mr. Cornett is related to another AVS teacher(Mrs. Cornett who teaches 9-12 business classes)?

Mr. Dodson believes that a virtual option should be available for all families for a variety of reasons. He sees AVS as been a great place with motivated staff and involved families.
