      I wanted to share a few things with everyone.  You may have noticed construction has begun on replacing our old playground.  This comes with mixed emotions from our students and staff.  We had the old playground for over 30 years, and it will be missed.  However, the new playground and fitness course will be amazing for the students and Avery community.  All of this could not have happened without the support and generosity from all our families, Bellevue Public Schools, Bellevue Public Schools Foundations, and all the businesses.  Attached are pictures of the fitness course (link) and the new playground (attached).

    3.  As the cold weather moves in please be sure to send your child with appropriate clothing.  This includes coats, gloves, hats, etc.  If you are in need of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me or our school counselor, Ms. Aguirre.  
     
    4.  Parents/Guardians, a new tutoring opportunity is now available for all of our students. Tutors are future educators from the three state colleges. The tutoring program has just opened to all K-12 students in the state of Nebraska and is available Monday-Thursday from 3:30-8:30. This could be a great opportunity for students that are needing some extra support in their classes. Parents and students will need to create an account to get started at https://www.nscs.edu/nebraskasmart. Tutors are then available either by scheduled appointment or on-demand.
