District Information, Event Details, and Volunteer Opportunities
Coming Soon: Avoca Spiritwear Sale
Here at the Spirit Shack, we have been working hard to finalize new designs and old favorites for this year's AW and MM Spirit Wear fundraiser. Stay tuned for more information on the spirit wear sales window. View the flyer here.
Needed: Lunch Help Volunteer
Looking to lend a hand? Avoca would love to have your help with lunch supervision this school year. Whether in the lunchroom or inside your child's classroom (when he/she is not eating in the lunchroom), our volunteers will be critical for health and safety this year. Rest assured that we will make sure you're caught up to speed on everything you need to know in order to be safe and successful. To sign up, please fill out the Google form here.
Save the Date: 8th Grade Car Wash
Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 25th from 10 am-2 pm for the 8th Grade Car Wash. Ticket sales will launch soon! More details to come.
Vaccination Information Upload
Currently, our local rates are rising, but doing so slowly. Our best defense is vaccinations, and our vaccination rate is already quite high compared to the state and national average - but it could be higher. Do not forget to upload your student's vaccination status with the District, since doing so will help reduce quarantine of close contacts. Click here to do that.
PTC Annual Dues
The PTC is collecting dues for the 2021-2022 school year. Your annual membership gets you access to our AtoZ Directory, helps fund programs for all students, and more. To pay online, click here. For alternate methods of payment and/or questions, please contact Ann Heinz, PTC Director of Membership at [email protected].
8th Grade Committee: Up & Running!
If any parents of 8th graders are interested in participating, please reach out to either Betsy Harootyan ([email protected]) or Dorothy Elfring ([email protected]). The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for September 15, 2021.
Wilmette Safety & Civics Committee
The Safety & Civics Committee of Wilmette is looking for a second representative from D37. In previous years, the time commitment was one (1), 1-2/hr morning meeting per month, which took place during the day on a weekday. School administration also attends. We serve alongside representatives from the other Wilmette schools. If interested, reach out to Betsy Harootyan at [email protected].
Shoutout to All Room Parents
The PTC would like to thank all parents who volunteered to serve as room parents for the 2021-2022 school year! If you have any questions, please reach out to PTC VP for AW, Melanie Morrow at [email protected]
