A Message from Principal Peguero

Dear Avalon Families,

We are excited to welcome all of our students back to campus on Tuesday, August 26th! Please note that this will be a minimum day for all students.

  • CDC, TK–8th grade begin at 8:00am

  • 9th–12th grade begin at 8:30am

As you prepare for the return to school, we ask that you take a moment to talk with your student about our new Electronic Device Restrictions. Your partnership is essential as we put this policy into place to protect both student well-being and the learning environment.

To help your child be ready:

  • All students should bring a backpack each day.

  • Students in 6th–12th grade are expected to bring their school-issued Chromebook daily. Since every student now has a Chromebook, loaners will be very limited.

  • Please note that cell phones can no longer be used to access Canvas courses or complete schoolwork.

We also have some special opportunities this week:

  • On Tuesday at 2:00pm, Ms. Miruna Ouatu-Lascar from LBUSD will host a Community Outreach Session in the library.

  • On Friday, we are honored to welcome the LBUSD Director of Secondary Schools, who will be visiting our campus.

Thank you for your continued support as we begin a new school year together. I am truly looking forward to a wonderful first day back with our students.

Warmly,
Emma Peguero
Avalon TK-12 , Principal

Hola!

Estimadas familias de Avalon:


¡Nos complace dar la bienvenida a todos nuestros estudiantes al campus el martes 26 de agosto! Tengan en cuenta que este será un día de clases reducidas para todos los estudiantes.


CDC, TK-8.º grado comienzan a las 8:00 a. m.


9.º-12.º grado comienzan a las 8:30 a. m.


Mientras se preparan para el regreso a clases, les pedimos que se tomen un momento para hablar con su estudiante sobre nuestras nuevas restricciones de dispositivos electrónicos. Su colaboración es esencial para implementar esta política y proteger tanto el bienestar de los estudiantes como el entorno de aprendizaje.


Para ayudar a su hijo/a a estar listo/a:


Todos los estudiantes deben traer una mochila todos los días.


Se espera que los estudiantes de 6.º a 12.º grado traigan su Chromebook proporcionado por la escuela a diario. Dado que todos los estudiantes ahora tienen una Chromebook, los préstamos serán muy limitados.


Tengan en cuenta que los teléfonos celulares ya no se pueden usar para acceder a los cursos de Canvas ni para realizar tareas escolares.


También tenemos algunas oportunidades especiales esta semana:


El martes a las 2pm, la Sra. Miruna Ouatu-Lascar del LBUSD ofrecerá una sesión de divulgación comunitaria en la biblioteca.


El viernes, nos complace dar la bienvenida a la Directora de Escuelas Secundarias del LBUSD, quien visitará nuestro campus.


Gracias por su continuo apoyo al comenzar un nuevo año escolar juntos. Espero con ansias un maravilloso primer día de regreso con nuestros estudiantes.


Gracias,

Emma Peguero

Avalon TK-12, Directora

Electronic Device Restriction

At Avalon TK-12, we are committed to upholding our upcoming restrictions on personal devices in order to protect instructional time and prioritize our students’ well-being and focus. Beginning this school year, cell phones will not be permitted during the school day and instructional time. If a cell phone is seen or used, it will be treated as a prohibited device, and parents or guardians will be contacted to retrieve it from the school.


We recognize that cell phones are intentionally designed to be addictive, and we understand that this adjustment may be challenging for some students. Your partnership is crucial to our success in maintaining a positive learning environment. We encourage you to speak with your children about these changes and help them prepare for this transition.

Restricciones sobre Celulares

En Avalon TK-12, nos comprometemos a mantener las próximas restricciones sobre dispositivos personales para proteger el tiempo de instrucción y priorizar el bienestar y la concentración de nuestros estudiantes. A partir de este año escolar, no se permitirá el uso de teléfonos celulares durante la jornada escolar ni el horario de instrucción. Si se ve o se usa un teléfono celular, se considerará un dispositivo prohibido y se contactará a los padres o tutores para que lo retiren de la escuela.


Reconocemos que los teléfonos celulares están diseñados intencionalmente para ser adictivos y entendemos que esta adaptación puede ser difícil para algunos estudiantes. Su colaboración es crucial para que podamos mantener un ambiente de aprendizaje positivo. Los animamos a hablar con sus hijos sobre estos cambios y a ayudarlos a prepararse para esta transición.
