Averill Park CSD Community, We would like to notify you of a slight change to Question 5 of the Daily Health Survey, which now states, Have you or anyone in your household taken a COVID-19 test and are awaiting results?

NOTICE: High School parents should check their email for an important, time sensitive, message about military information sharing.

The Capital Project referendum is open to voting until 9:00 p.m. tonight. For this vote, District officials must count ballots by hand as machine counting is unavailable. Due to the length of time the process will take, the official count will begin tomorrow morning. We will announce the results of the vote as soon as they are available. Thank you all for taking the time to vote on the two propositions.

Get your pictures in the Yearbook with the private photo submission!

Please note that Tuesday, November 3 will be a day of student attendance for the Averill Park CSD. This day was originally scheduled as a Superintendent's Conference Day. The calendar was revised at the July 28, 2020 Board of Education meeting and the Conference Day was moved to the beginning of September to allow the District additional time to prepare for the 2020-21 school year and finalize reopening plans.

AMS students were challenged to donate 400 canned food items to support the Sand Lake Kiwanis and they stepped up and blew the mark away, collecting more than 1,000 items! As a result, students will be rewarded with being able to wear Halloween costumes to school on Thursday or Friday this week. Send us pictures of your Halloween costumes and we'll share them on our social media platforms.... #AP_EveryStudentEveryDay

Students in Mrs. Deo's 4th grade class at Miller Hill-Sand Lake Elementary School welcomed Mrs. Cahill to their class to teach them some beginning sign language. Students learned how to finger spell their names, how to sign happy birthday, and had a ton of fun learning many Halloween signs, too. We are already looking forward to our next lesson! #AP_EveryStudentEveryDay
