Arcadia Valley R-II School District

Own a piece of AVHS History! For over 50 years this floor has been the foundation for HS Graduations, Thanksgiving Tournaments, Fall Festivals, Spring Plays, Christmas Concerts, and a host of other activities in the lives of AVHS Students, their families, and our community. The pieces of floor are available in 4' x 4' (approx. size) sections for a donation of $10 each. Money raised goes towards High School student programs. To pick up your piece, stop by the Maintenance Building behind Career Tech between 8:00 am and 3:00 pm M-F, or during one of our upcoming events in the HS Gym Lobby. *Currently the pieces with lines on them are unavailable as we are using them to build some items in one of our programs that we will auction off at a later date.

We are excited that this year our NEW 2024 Route Buses have AIR CONDITIONING! We are excited to give our kids a more comfortable trip to and from school. We also want to thank you for your patience with our buses and bus riders as we start a new school year. Our rider numbers at the beginning of the year usually vary from morning/afternoon as drop off/pick ups change, changes of student addresses over the summer we don't know about, and more riders until the after school program begins. We have another bus and driver ready to go in the event that a bus would begin nearing capacity and we need to run another route. The morning pick up and afternoon drop off times also usually become shorter as students and drivers get used to the stops and routes over the next week or so. We would like to thank Mrs. Stephanie Hamilton and Mr. Kenny Tiefenauer who do an outstanding job in getting our buses and routes ready to go over the summer and each school day. Again thank you for your patience. If you have any issues or questions with your route, please contact our Transportation Director or speak with your child's building office. We are all in this together! We thank you for your understanding.

Congratulations to AV Post Secondary Counselor, Nicole Thomas, who received the Innovation Award at the Missouri RootEd Conference this week! Mrs Thomas has worked tirelessly to come up with innovative ideas to engage students in planning for their next step following high school. Mrs Thomas works with all AVHS Seniors to develop a career plan for after high school, whether it's going to college, beginning a technical skill training program, entering the workforce, or joining the military. At AVHS we were thrilled to have the #rootEdMissouri program available for our students this past year and excited to continue this program for years to come!
