It's December..the District reminds families that Allegheny Valley schools will be closed over the Holiday Break, beginning on Friday, December 23rd and running through Sunday, January 1st. Classes resume on Tuesday, January 2nd. Throughout the weeks of December, students will be active in numerous holiday activities, philanthropic endeavors, and athletic events, in addition to their regular classwork. We are excited that our students are so engaged in the schools and in the community. Our thanks is extended to families for all of their support.
When students return from break, the end of the second quarter comes quickly - January 10. Mid-terms, changing schedules, report cards, and the second semester are right around the corner. We encourage students to rest and relax during the break, to recharge and return to the schools ready for all the events that occur in the second half of the year.
