Who has the best teachers in the Douglas County School District? The answer is easy; Aspen View Academy does. AVA has a highly dedicated group of teachers and staff who go above and beyond every day to make sure your kids are educated in a safe and caring environment where they feel comfortable and confident to take chances. We have established high expectations for all students and provide all the tools necessary for the students to accomplish these expectations. Of course, our success is not complete without the tremendous efforts of our support personnel, which includes the office staff, custodial staff, lunchroom staff and our PARAs.
I know that the AVA parent community appreciates our teachers and staff and demonstrates that in many ways. There is a formal opportunity to show your appreciation – the DCSD Apple Awards.
The Apple Awards were created in 2006 to provide the opportunity to recognize and celebrate excellent, innovative teachers, administrators, and support staff. Nominations for the Apple Awards are submitted online by staff, students, parents, and members of the community. You may nominate more than one person. Nominations must be made using the online form, no exceptions. The nomination window is open now through November 11th.
As of today, you will find the 2025 Apple Award Nomination link LIVE on AVA's page on the FoundationDCS.org website:

The 2025 Apple Award Nomination window is open now through Monday November 11, 2024. We invite our AVA students, teachers, staff, and community to join us in nominating their favorite teacher(s), principal, classified employee, support staff, or any employee of AVA. After the Nomination window closes on November 11th, the district will return the list of nominees to each school, and we will select this year's school representatives. AVA is allowed to submit one licensed educator and one classified representative to be considered for the 2025 Apple Award!
Please show your support for our amazing staff and nominate as many as you feel have made a difference in your child’s life.
