The 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is an unprecedented event that has impacted every part of the globe. Pennsylvania has taken equally unprecedented measures to save lives and ensure the safety of its citizens. As the global spread of COVID-19 continues to evolve, Avon Grove Charter School is committed to ensuring the safety, security, and wellness of our students and staff. We remain vigilant in our efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and strongly encourage our families to follow good hygiene practices and to reinforce them with their children. 

During the 2020-2021 school year, we have been in continuous contact with the Chester County Health Department, Chester County Intermediate Unit, and a wide variety of other government, educational, and health agencies. We worked diligently this summer to develop plans for moving Forward Together safely while providing an outstanding education for our students. Please download these plans through the links below and review them for all of the details you'll need this school year.

As part of the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, funding for Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) has been extended through June 2021. Through P-EBT, eligible school children receive temporary emergency nutrition benefits via EBT cards to purchase food outside of school. The Department of Human Services (DHS) is working with the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) to identify eligible children and issue P-EBT tentatively in late May. More information can be found on the DHS P-EBT Guide Webpage. 

The PDE has requested all Parent/Family/Public Inquires be directed to the DHS Customer Service Line: 484-363-2137.
