A Message from Principal Peguero

Hello Avalon Families,


We saw so many smiles and warm welcomes across campus this past week. Our students are amazing, and it has been wonderful to see their excitement and eagerness to learn. It was wonderful to see them in the classroom, on the playground, or connecting with friends and teachers.

As we settle into the school year, our teachers are also establishing strong instructional foundations for our students.


At the elementary level, teachers had protected time last week to review incoming student academic data and identify areas of strength and need. This week, they will work together to identify the essential learning for the upcoming quarter. They are also developing daily schedules that thoughtfully incorporate our enrichment experiences, including Library, Instrumental Music, and Vocal Music, to complement and enhance classroom learning.


At the secondary level, teachers used protected time last week to engage in professional learning focused on parent communication. They made commitments to begin proactive outreach and build strong connections with families early in the year. This week, they will turn their attention to identifying the essential learning for the quarter and establishing clear expectations for student success.


This week, we will introduce our school expectations to our secondary students. High school students will participate in an assembly on Thursday, while 7th and 8th grade students will receive their expectations through class presentations.

Families are welcome to preview the high school expectation assembly slides here:

HS Expectation Assembly Slides

A Reminder:

  • Class Schedules: We follow LBUSD's 20-day class placement protocol, which means student schedules may change during the first 20 days of the school year as we balance classes and make appropriate placements. If a student needs assistance with a schedule change, they should follow the directions provided by their counselor.


Thank you for partnering with us as we begin this new school year. We are excited about the year ahead and the opportunity to work together to support every Avalon student.


Warmly,
Emma Peguero
Avalon Tk--12 Principal

Estimadas familias de Avalon:


La semana pasada vimos muchas sonrisas y una cálida bienvenida en todo el plantel. Nuestros estudiantes son maravillosos, y ha sido fantástico ver su entusiasmo y ganas de aprender. Fue un placer verlos en el aula, en el recreo o interactuando con sus amigos y maestros.


A medida que nos adaptamos al ritmo del año escolar, nuestros maestros también están estableciendo bases pedagógicas sólidas para los estudiantes.


En el nivel de primaria, la semana pasada los maestros dispusieron de tiempo protegido para revisar los datos académicos de los estudiantes y determinar sus fortalezas y áreas que requieren apoyo. Esta semana, trabajarán en equipo para definir los aprendizajes esenciales del próximo trimestre. Asimismo, están elaborando horarios diarios que integran cuidadosamente nuestras actividades de enriquecimiento —como biblioteca, música instrumental y música vocal— para complementar y potenciar el aprendizaje en el aula.


En el nivel de secundaria, la semana pasada los maestros dedicaron tiempo protegido a la capacitación profesional centrada en la comunicación con los padres. Se comprometieron a establecer un contacto proactivo y a crear vínculos sólidos con las familias desde el inicio del año. Esta semana, se centrarán en identificar los aprendizajes esenciales del trimestre y en establecer expectativas claras para el éxito de los estudiantes.


Esta semana, presentaremos las expectativas escolares a nuestros estudiantes de secundaria. Los alumnos de preparatoria (High School) asistirán a una asamblea el jueves, mientras que los estudiantes de 7.º y 8.º grado conocerán dichas expectativas a través de presentaciones en clase.


Las familias pueden consultar previamente las diapositivas de la asamblea de expectativas de preparatoria aquí:


Diapositivas de la asamblea de expectativas de preparatoria (HS)


Un recordatorio:

Horarios de clases: Seguimos el protocolo de asignación de clases de 20 días del LBUSD; esto significa que los horarios de los estudiantes podrían modificarse durante los primeros 20 días del año escolar mientras equilibramos las clases y realizamos las asignaciones pertinentes. Si un estudiante necesita ayuda con un cambio de horario, debe seguir las indicaciones de su consejero escolar.


Gracias por colaborar con nosotros al comenzar este nuevo año escolar. Nos entusiasma el año que tenemos por delante y la oportunidad de trabajar juntos para apoyar a cada estudiante de Avalon.


Cordialmente,

Emma Peguero

Directora de Avalon (TK-12)
