About
Our School
Welcome to the Tina-Avalon R-II School District, a vibrant public school community located along Highway 65 between Tina and Avalon, Missouri. Our district proudly serves approximately 136 students from
Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade. We are dedicated to providing a supportive and engaging learning environment that fosters academic growth and personal development.

Vision Statement
It is our vision to inspire each student with a passion for lifelong learning and the ability to adapt and positively contribute to a global community.
Our History
Built between 1953 and 1955, the Tina-Avalon School was established at a cost of $255,976. The Tina and Avalon districts merged in January 1952, creating a vibrant educational community.​In its inaugural year, the school welcomed around 300 students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Originally, the school drew its water supply from a 346-foot deep well.​
Before the consolidation, Avalon represented the Wildcats, while Tina was known as the Tigers. Avalon's school colors were purple and gold, whereas Tina sported yellow and black. ​Today, the T-A gymnasium accommodates approximately 1,200 spectators. The unified school now boasts the Dragon mascot and proudly displays green and white as its official colors.
Mission and Rationale
The Tina-Avalon School strives to provide the very BEST education possible for our students. We have, therefore, developed the acronym B.E.S.T. - Better Education Starts Today, as the school’s mission statement.
​
The rationale of education is a foundation on which a school system is built and upon which the product of the school program is evaluated. When a particular rationale of education has been generally accepted, it becomes a guide and determines the policies of the school system. The following is the basic rationale of the Tina-Avalon R-II School District.
We believe the school must assume the responsibility for the education of every child in the community despite race, gender, economic status, creed, or national heritage. Every child has a right to an individual education in keeping with his/her mental and physical endowments to acquire and use it.
We believe the goals of education must contribute to the development of the whole child. Each educational task must be solely planned so it will help the child grow mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically, and socially. We believe there are individual differences in children and that adequate provisions must be made for a wide variety of activities that will develop the many different talents of boys and girls.
We believe schools are responsible for the increase in the economic efficiency of the individual through vocational guidance, consumer education and personal economics.
We believe schools should develop, in every child, an appreciation for honest work, and a realization that for every action the individual must assume corresponding responsibility.
We believe one of the greatest challenges for the school is to develop citizens who will function effectively in our democracy.
Positive Behavior Supports
Tina-Avalon is a PBS (Positive Behavior Support) school. PBS is a positive proactive system to provide a consistent building-wide discipline plan. PBS is meant to reinforce the positive behaviors of students, as well as support students who need extra assistance to reach the following school-wide expectations:
Be Safe, Be Responsible, Be Respectful, Be Kind. ​
​
​The PBS system organizes behavior management into a matrix of expected behavior which includes documentation, feedback, and interventions. We teach students expectations in a way to promote positive behaviors.
