Dear Avalon Families, Welcome to the 2012-2013 School Year at Avalon Schools! Last year the students and staff had an extraordinary year and we are looking forward to an even better one this year. A few changes this year you need to be aware of; Minimum days will now be on Wednesdays. That means that every Wednesday, elementary students (1-5) will be released at 1:00 pm and once a month, Secondary students will be released at 12:35 on a Wednesday. Secondary students will all be issued planners to keep track of assignments and homework. Please ensure students bring their planner with them daily. If the planner is lost, a fee will be issued for the replacement planner. Tutorial is now being replaced with Study Lab in the Secondary School. Study Lab will meet daily right before nutrition-that means the day will begin promptly at 8:00 with an instructional class. Punctuality will more important than ever in the mornings. The faculty and I are looking forward to working with you to ensure that each and every student in the school is successful this year, academically and socially. We ask that every student comes to school every school day on-time, with all his or her required materials and prepared to do his or her best. Success is a team effort and every player (student, teacher and parent) is an integral part of that team. When every player does his or her best, everyone wins! I look forward to seeing you all on or before our scheduled Back to School Nights. September 19thfor Elementary School and October 3for Secondary School. Please mark your calendars.
I am certain this is going to be a positive and exciting year because of the great foundation that has already been laid by you. I look forward to working together to develop critical thinkers, effective communicators and responsible Lancer Scholars with exceptional character! Feel free to contact me with any comments or questions you might have. Kindly, Angelica Gonzalez, Principal
Queridas Familias de Avalon, ¡Bienvenidos al ciclo escolar 2012-2013 en la Escuela Avalon! El año pasado los estudiantes y el personal tuvo un año extraordinario y estamos deseando un aún mejor este año. Algunos cambios este año, que usted necesita estar conscientes de; Días mínimos ahora serán los miércoles. Eso significa que todos los miércoles, los estudiantes de primaria (1-5) saldrán a la 1:00 y una vez al mes, los estudiantes de secundaria saldrán a las 12:35 el miércoles. Todos los estudiantes de secundaria recibirán una agenda nueva para realizar un seguimiento de tareas y asignaciones. Por favor asegúrese que su alumno traiga su agenda con ellos diariamente. Si la agenda se pierde, se emitirá una cuota para la agenda de reemplazo. Tutorial ahora está siendo reemplazada con laboratorio de estudio en la escuela secundaria. Laboratorio de estudio reunirá diariamente justo antes de nutrición-que significa el día comenzará puntualmente a las 8:00 con una clase de instrucción. Puntualidad será más importante que nunca en las mañanas. La facultad y yo estamos deseando trabajar con usted para asegurar que cada estudiante en la escuela tenga éxito este año, académicamente y socialmente. Pedimos que cada estudiante llegue a la escuela cada día a tiempo, con todas sus materiales y dispuesta/o a hacer su mejor esfuerzo. El éxito es un esfuerzo de equipo y cada jugador (estudiantes, maestros y padres) es parte integrante de ese equipo. ¡Cuando cada jugador hace su mayor esfuerzo, todos ganan! Espero verlos a todos en las noches de regreso a la escuela. El 19 de septiembrepara la escuela primaria y el3 de octubrepara la escuela secundaria. Por favor marque sus calendarios. Estoy segura de que este va a ser un año positivo y emocionante debido a la gran base que ya ha sido establecida por usted. Estoy deseosa de trabajar juntos para desarrollar pensadores críticos, comunicadores eficaces y responsables académicos con carácter excepcional! No dude en contactarme con algún comentario o pregunta que pueda tener. Attentamente, Angelica Gonzalez, Directora WASC AccreditationThe Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) accreditation process is called Focus on Learning. The goal of this process is to evaluate a school’s impact on student learning, as well as the effectiveness of the school’s programs and its operation. In 2009, WASC awarded Avalon School with a six-year accreditation with a Midterm Review after three years. The 2009 report identified three Critical Areas for Follow-up that we have been addressing during the past three years. On March 26, 2012, a two-person team visited Avalon and looked at our progress. We were excited to share our progress with them and look forward to sharing the visiting committee’s report with you soon. ----------------------------------------- La Asociación de Escuelas y Colegios (WASC) se llama “foco en el aprendizaje.” El objetivo de este proceso es evaluar el impacto de una escuela de aprendizaje, así como la eficacia de los programas de la escuela y su funcionamiento. En 2009, WASC otorgó Avalon con una acreditación de seis años con un reviso de mitad de período después de tres años. El informe de 2009 identificó tres áreas críticas para el seguimiento que nos hemos estado ocupando durante los últimos tres años. El 26 de marzo de 2012, un equipo de dos personas visitará Avalon y miraran nuestro progreso. Estamos muy contentos de compartir nuestro progreso con ellos y deseando compartir el informe de la Comisión visitante con usted pronto. TeleParent & School LoopAvalon teachers, counselors, officer personnel, and administrators communicate with students and their families through traditional methods and newly adopted technologies. The most recent communication tools available to our staff are School Loop and TeleParent. School Loop is a web-based site that offers 6th through 12th grade students and their families a wide range of information about the school and their individual student. Students, parents, and guardians may obtain Avalon Schools School Loop accounts, and not only view news and updates about the school, but also peruse their own child’s class and homework assignments, test grades, and overall academic standing. School Loop can be used to reach teachers, counselors, and administrators by e-mail. Families may obtain assistance to sign onto School Loop at Back to School, or by individual appointment through their student’s counselor. The school website is also a School Loop product. TeleParent, a telephone based communication system, offers teachers, counselors, office staff, and administrators a tool to relate information about individual students or school-wide news to families in their native language. Teachers have access to a menu of pre-recorded messages concerning classroom assignments, grades, behaviors, and activities, that they can send to family phones with the touch of a couple letters on the keyboard. Administrators and office personnel possess the ability to send notifications to families of targeted groups of students or the entire school population. Attendance calls arrive on family phones automatically on the day a student is absent from one or more class period. The school receives a list of unsuccessful calls every time a TeleParent message is sent, improving our ability to update phone numbers for our students’ families.
