Hello Parents/Guardians:
Academia Avance Charter School exists to create a community that craves learning, fosters resiliency, and cares deeply for every child. We benefit from an invested and talented group of administrators, faculty, staff, and outstanding students. In order to ensure safety for all of our students, we are enhancing safety procedures at both the Main Campus and North Figueroa Campus, with a designated School Resource Officer (SRO), and screenings of all students starting on Thursday, September 28th.
The SRO will move between the two sites on alternating days of the week. The student screenings are to prevent prohibited items from disrupting our instruction and operations. Prohibited items found will be confiscated, and those students involved will be immediately suspended out of school.
I ask that you please prepare your children for participating in the screenings at Avance starting this Thursday. Please remind your children of the items that are prohibited in our school and ensure they do not bring prohibited items to school. Those items include, but are not limited, to the following:
· Any weapon – including any knife, cutting instrument, cutting tool, nunchaku, firearm, shotgun, rifle, and any other tools;
· Instrument or implement capable of inflicting serious bodily injury; including but not limited to, sparklers, fireworks, smoke or stink bombs, explosives, live ammunition, chains, including wallet chains, and bracelets;
· Devices which are potential items of violence, certain rings, pipes or tubes, look-alike firearms and weapons (toy guns, knives), and any item which could or would be a threat to the students, himself/herself or the school community;
· Anything dangerous, disruptive, or distracting is not allowed in school, to include any type of inhalant, such as non-edible, paint, markers, gasoline, mouthwashes and/or breath fresheners with alcohol content;
· Matches, lighters, electronic cigarettes/cigars, hazardous chemicals, balloons, laser pointers;
· Tobacco products of any kind, illegal drugs/substances, controlled substances, all forms of Marijuana use including traditional leaves, powdered leaves, hashish, tea, juice, tincture, honey butane oil, shatter, and wax;

Hola padres/tutores:
Academia Avance Charter School existe para crear una comunidad que anhela aprender, fomenta la resiliencia y se preocupa profundamente por cada niño. Nos beneficiamos de un grupo invertido y talentoso de administradores, profesores, personal y estudiantes destacados. Para garantizar la seguridad de todos nuestros estudiantes, estamos mejorando las medidas de seguridad tanto en el campus principal como en el campus North Figueroa, con un Oficial de Recursos Escolares (SRO) designado y exámenes de todos los estudiantes a partir del jueves 27 de septiembre.
La SRO se desplazará entre los dos sitios en días alternos de la semana. Las evaluaciones de los estudiantes son para evitar que artículos prohibidos interrumpan nuestra instrucción y operaciones. Los artículos prohibidos que se encuentren serán confiscados y los estudiantes involucrados serán inmediatamente suspendidos de la escuela.
Les pido que preparen a sus hijos para participar en las proyecciones de Avance a partir de este jueves. Recuerde a sus hijos los artículos que están prohibidos en nuestra escuela y asegúrese de que no traigan artículos prohibidos a la escuela. Esos artículos incluyen, entre otros, los siguientes:
