Principal's Message from Ms. Z. Lopez Principal's Message from Ms. Z. Lopez

Welcome Back and Happy December! ✨

We want to thank you for your continued support and partnership. I am so grateful for all of you and I hope you are ready to embrace these next few weeks filled with engaged learning opportunities and—of course—some holiday fun! We are excited to announce our library will be opening soon and cannnot wait for our students to see it! Also, we are still offering tutoring every Tuesday and Thursday leading up to Winter Break for grades 3-5. Please contact your child's teacher if you want your child to attend or call our assistant principal, Diana Lopez, for more information. We look forward to a fantastic month with your children and can’t wait to see all they accomplish.

Proud to be your principal,

Zonia Lopez

Attendance Matters at Zavala

We want our Aviators at school every day. Students coming to school are learning many new concepts, participating in fine arts and physical education. We know that students do get sick, however if your child is not sick we want them on campus. If your child will be out, please call and speak to Mrs. Vargas and send a note back to campus. We accept doctor's notes and a parent note explaining the illness.

📌 Attendance Reminder:

Our school day begins promptly at 7:50 AM, and consistent attendance is key to student success—every day counts! To support timely arrivals:

  • Arrivals after 7:50 AM will receive a tardy permit—and a friendly reminder of our start time.

  • Students arriving at 8:05 AM or later must be signed in by a parent/guardian at the front office.

We appreciate your partnership in creating a smooth, on-time start for all students. ✨
