Hedding Grade School and Abingdon-Avon High School were advised by the Abingdon Police Department to enter a soft lockdown. The lockdown will be in place until an individual involved in a car chase that took place in Abingdon is apprehended.
Parents/Guardians - Please take a few minutes to take the Illinois 5 Essentials Survey for the Abingdon-Avon School District. This survey gives our district important information about experiences in school, giving school leaders critical input to help develop school improvement plans. Your student has already taken part in this survey. We would like your input as well! All survey results are completely confidential!
To take the parent survey please visit https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/ and select the appropriate survey to begin. If asked to designate the county your district is located in, please choose Knox County (even if your student attends the Avon Campus).
Thank you for your participation!!
Due to the forecasted weather and road conditions from freezing rain, there will be no school for Abingdon-Avon today, February 16th. Please stay safe!

Good Morning A-Town,
We wanted to share the final plans for the addition at Hedding Elementary with the community. The addition will include 4 classrooms, a gymnasium, bathrooms, outdoor classroom, and a new Library Space. The gym will also be used as a storm shelter for our community. The gym will have a multi-purpose floor so it can be used for many different activities.
Plans for the upcoming Avon Campus addition will be shared soon!!
Thank you, Mr. Sloan and the Avon Lions Club for donating dictionaries to each third grader.
