Thank you for visiting our website, and welcome to AuSable Valley Middle School in the 2021-2022 school year!
We look forward to seeing students 5 days per week this year and returning to a “more regular” school year. We will work hard to welcome students back to school in a safe, fun, and engaging learning environment. We will create a space of belonging where students will be accepted for who they are and where they are at, yet also be challenged to be their best selves.
We want to serve you in times of joy, happiness, and triumph, but also in times of challenge, grief, and struggle. Academic learning and growth are our bottom line, yet we also understand that educating students means being attentive to the “whole child” and caring about their social and emotional well-being.
Our teachers, staff, and I love middle school-age students, and we love to be a part of their learning and growth during these crucial years of development. We love having parents in our school and contributing to our positive school culture, whether that is mostly online or in-building this year. Parents and community are a big part of who we are, and we want you to help us to support your child’s learning and growth this year.
Please feel free to share with us your perspectives and let us know how things are going for you and your child throughout the school year. You can email me anytime at trybendis.brittany@avcsk12.org or call our office at (518) 834-2800 extension 3708 with any questions or concerns.
