Parent & Student Handbook
The Avondale Elementary Staff and Administration are dedicated to creating the best learning environment possible. It is our goal to provide all students with the opportunity to excel academically, enabling them to become positive contributing members of our school and community. The Parent & Student Handbook contains important resources about our school, programs, and policies. We expect your child to have a great year of learning at Avondale Elementary, an IB PYP School.
