- No Visitors the month of August. We will communicate lunch dates per grade level starting September 1st.
- All visitors will need to bring their photo ID and check in at the front office. Please ring doorbell to be let in. Do not hold door open for other visitors. All visitors will receive a sticker.
- Due to the changes for students and to ensure we are giving all parents an opportunity for a comfortable visit. We are asking for parents to visit no more than 2x a week.

🌟 Be You: Our Campus Theme for the Year!
Dear Zavala Families,
This year at Lorenzo de Zavala Environmental Science Academy, our campus-wide theme is BE YOU! 💚💙
We believe every child has unique talents, abilities, ideas, and creativity to share with the world. Be You encourages our students to let those gifts shine and to give their very best to others.
As our students grow and discover where their journey will take them, we want them to remember to:
✨ Be Curious – Ask questions and explore the world around you.
🌎 Be Adventurous – Try new things and step outside your comfort zone.
💚 Be Patient – Give yourself and others grace as you learn and grow.
🦁 Be Brave – Believe in yourself and have the courage to be who you are.
Most importantly, JUST BE YOU! Be your best self. Celebrate what makes you unique. Stay true to who you are. When each of us brings our own talents, strengths, and creativity to our school community, we become something truly amazing together!
🎨 Let's Celebrate with a Book!
To kick off our Be You year, we have some special surprises for our students!
📚 Join PTA: Every student whose family joins PTA will be entered for a chance to take home a Be You book AND a paint set!
📚 Be Here the First Week: Students who are present during the first week of school will also be entered for a chance to take home a Be You book AND a paint set!
Here's to a year of discovering who we are, celebrating what makes us special, and making our mark together at Zavala! 💙🌟💚
