Dr. Wyndham's Back-to-School Message

Welcome to the new school year!

I am so excited to welcome your child back to school.

We recently learned Avon Community School Corporation was the third-fastest-growing school district in Indiana by net enrollment increase over the last three school years. We are excited to continue to meet the challenges and opportunities of growth to make sure Avon continues to be a place where ALL belong, learn, and grow.

While students and staff have been enjoying summer break, the team in our Administration Center and school buildings has been busy preparing for the 2022-23 school year.

Here are just a few of the big things you can expect:

• Student enrollment will climb to more than 10,500 as we are joined by new preschool students at White Oak Early Learning Center, new kindergarten students at each of our six elementary schools, and many new-to-Avon students in grades 1-12 who have moved into our district. 
• To maintain class-size targets, we'll be adding seven temporary classrooms at Avon Intermediate School West (4), Cedar Elementary (1), Maple Elementary (1), and Pine Tree Elementary (1). These are in addition to the five portable classroom units we're already using at Avon Intermediate School East (2) and Hickory Elementary (3).
• New principals will welcome students and staff back to school at Avon Middle School North and Avon Intermediate School East.
• New assistant principals at Avon High School, Avon Middle School North, Avon Middle School South, Avon Intermediate School East, River Birch Elementary, and Sycamore Elementary will be hard at work supporting students and staff.
• You'll see earth moving and steel rising as renovation and expansion projects at Pine Tree Elementary and Avon High School get underway.
• Students will have the excitement of getting to know many of the dozens of new teachers and support staff we have hired this summer on their buses and in their schools.

As Superintendent, I get just as excited for the start of a new school year as I did when I had my own classroom. I am looking forward to seeing your children in their classrooms, in action at performances and athletic competitions, and enjoying the wide variety of extracurricular activities. 

I hope you will join me in enjoying all this new school year will offer, and I look forward to working together to ensure ALL belong, learn, and grow in Avon Schools.

Sincerely,

Scott Wyndham, Ed.D.
Superintendent
