Student BulletinPrincipal's Message
Dear Avalon Families, Welcome to the 2011-2012 School Year! My name is Angelica Gonzalez, and as you may already know, I am the new principal of Avalon Schools. I look forward to working and getting to know you and your student. I am proud and excited to join the Avalon Family and honored to serve this community. The faculty and I are looking forward to getting 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 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 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 meeting each of you, as we work 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. With Regards, Angelica Gonzalez, Principal
Estimadas Familias de la escuela Avalon, Bienvenidos al año escolar 2011-2012. Mi nombre es Angélica González, y como usted ya sabe, soy la nueva directora de la escuela. Espero con interés poder trabajar y conocer a usted y a su hijo. Me siento orgullosa y emocionada de unirme a la familia de Avalon y es un honor servir a esta comunidad. La facultad y yo estamos deseando trabajar con usted para asegurar que cada estudiante en la escuela tenga éxito este año. Pedimos que cada estudiante llegue a la escuela todos los días de clases a tiempo con todos sus materiales necesarios preparado para hacer su mejor esfuerzo. El éxito es un esfuerzo de equipo y cada jugador (estudiantes, profesores y padres) es una parte integral de ese equipo. Cuando cada jugador pone lo mejor de su parte, todos ganamos. Estoy segura que este va ser un año positivo debido a la gran base que ya ha sido establecida por usted. Espero que podremos trabajar juntos para desarrollar pensadores críticos, comunicadores eficaces y académicos responsables con carácter excepcional. No dude en ponerse en contacto conmigo para cualquier comentario o pregunta que pueda tener. Hablo su idioma y estoy disponible para escucharlo. Con respeto, Angélica González, Directora 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.
