A Message from Principal Peguero

Hello Avalon Lancer Families & Community,


I hope your summer has been filled with everything that makes living on Catalina Island so special. This past month, I've enjoyed seeing our students all over town—working summer jobs, fishing from the pier and mole, spending time at the beach, riding bikes with friends, and simply enjoying being kids. One of the unique joys of serving as principal in Avalon is that our school community doesn't disappear in the middle of June. We remain connected all year long, and it's been wonderful watching our students grow through the experiences that summer brings.


Although there is still about a month before we welcome students back to campus, our team has already been hard at work preparing for the 2026–2027 school year. Throughout the year, I will be hosting regular Coffee Chats with the Principal, creating an informal space for conversation, questions, and celebrating the great work happening across our campus. We are also excited to launch Avalon 101, a new community workshop series designed to provide families and community stakeholders with a behind-the-scenes look at how our school operates—from student achievement and budgeting to programs, decision-making, and the many ways parents can become involved. Whether you are new to Avalon Schools or have been part of our community for years, we hope these gatherings strengthen the partnership.


As we get closer to August, we also look forward to welcoming our newest students and families through TK & Kindergarten Orientation and preparing our incoming 9th grade at Freshman Orientation. These events are an important first step in helping students feel confident, connected, and ready for a successful start to the school year.


You'll also notice several employment opportunities posted below. District will be on campus this coming week. We are always looking for talented individuals who are passionate about serving the children of Avalon. If you—or someone you know—would like to be part of our team, I encourage you to explore the opportunities to join our school community.


I hope you'll join us in cheering on our Lady Lancers at the Girls Volleyball's first home match on Saturday, August 8th.


Over the next month, I'll continue sharing updates, important dates, and information to help every family feel prepared for the first day of school. Until then, I hope everyone continues to enjoy these final weeks of summer. Stay safe, make lasting memories, support our student-athletes, and know that all of us at Avalon Schools are looking forward to welcoming our students back very soon.


We can't wait to begin it together.


Warmly,


Emma Peguero

Principal, Avalon TK-12 School

Hola familias y comunidad de Avalon Lancer:


Espero que su verano haya estado lleno de todo aquello que hace que vivir en la isla de Catalina sea tan especial. Durante el último mes, he disfrutado ver a nuestros estudiantes por todo el pueblo: trabajando en empleos de verano, pescando desde el muelle y el espigón, pasando tiempo en la playa, andando en bicicleta con amigos y simplemente disfrutando de ser niños. Una de las alegrías únicas de ser director en Avalon es que nuestra comunidad escolar no desaparece a mediados de junio. Seguimos conectados durante todo el año, y ha sido maravilloso ver a nuestros estudiantes crecer a través de las experiencias que trae el verano.


Aunque falta aproximadamente un mes para dar la bienvenida a los estudiantes al plantel, nuestro equipo ya está trabajando arduamente en los preparativos para el año escolar 2026–2027. A lo largo del año, organizaré reuniones periódicas de "Café con el Director", creando un espacio informal para conversar, hacer preguntas y celebrar la gran labor que se realiza en nuestra escuela. También nos entusiasma lanzar "Avalon 101", una nueva serie de talleres comunitarios diseñados para ofrecer a las familias y a los miembros de la comunidad una visión interna del funcionamiento de nuestra escuela: desde el rendimiento estudiantil y la elaboración de presupuestos hasta los programas, la toma de decisiones y las diversas formas en que los padres pueden participar. Ya sea que usted sea nuevo en las escuelas de Avalon o haya formado parte de nuestra comunidad durante años, esperamos que estos encuentros fortalezcan nuestra colaboración.


A medida que nos acercamos a agosto, también esperamos dar la bienvenida a nuestros nuevos estudiantes y familias mediante la orientación para TK (Prekínder de Transición) y Kínder, así como preparar a los alumnos que ingresan al noveno grado con la orientación para estudiantes de primer año (*Freshman Orientation*). Estos eventos son un primer paso importante para ayudar a los estudiantes a sentirse seguros, conectados y listos para un comienzo de año escolar exitoso.


También notarán varias oportunidades de empleo publicadas más abajo. Personal del distrito visitará el plantel la próxima semana. Siempre buscamos personas talentosas y apasionadas por servir a los niños de Avalon. Si usted —o alguien que conoce— desea formar parte de nuestro equipo, le animo a explorar las oportunidades para unirse a nuestra comunidad escolar.


Espero que nos acompañen a animar a nuestras *Lady Lancers* en el primer partido en casa del equipo de voleibol, el sábado 8 de agosto.


Durante el próximo mes, seguiré compartiendo novedades, fechas importantes e información para ayudar a que todas las familias se sientan preparadas para el primer día de clases. Hasta entonces, espero que todos sigan disfrutando de estas últimas semanas de verano. Cuídense, creen recuerdos inolvidables, apoyen a nuestros estudiantes deportistas y sepan que todos en Avalon Schools esperamos con ilusión darles la bienvenida a nuestros estudiantes muy pronto.


Gracias

Emma Peguero
