Principals report building upgrades, strong opening week and activities at Abingdon-Avon schools
Summary
Principals praised custodial and maintenance work after summer projects, reported back-to-school events and staffing updates including new teachers and a foreign-exchange student, and announced upcoming events such as Meet the Tornadoes and homecoming.
District principals reported on multiple building improvements and back-to-school activities during the meeting's reports section. One principal praised maintenance and custodial staff for renovations, saying, "They've been amazing in making our high school look amazing and nice and wonderful for our kids to start," and described new bathroom stalls, updated floors and other improvements.
The principals also summarized recent events: walk-in registration (Aug. 4–5), new teacher institute (Aug. 7), backpack night and "Meet the Tornadoes" scheduled for Aug. 21 at 6 p.m., and Homecoming on Oct. 3. Attendance figures were shared for a recent backpack night (about 82 attendees; roughly 83% of 5th graders). Administrators thanked technology staff for classroom setups and the custodial crews for summer work.
Reports noted classroom and grade reconfigurations that led to some teacher relocations, additional training and positive first-day observations. District leadership said Title II professional development funds arrived and are being used to support training and coaching for teachers.
