Principal's Message-Michael Pile

I want to thank all the parents that participated in our STEAM Open House event on March 23, 2021. By actively engaging in school events, you help to make our school better, thus creating a better educational experience for your child. We will continue to build our STEAM academy and prepare our students for their futures. Also, I would like to thank the parents that completed the reopening survey. Over 90% of you completed the survey! Thank you!


Parents, I want to acknowledge all that you have done and endured this past year. You have been the principal, teacher, nurse, cafeteria manager, and recess supervisor. You may not hear it enough, but we appreciate you. To all the parents participating behind the scenes, we know that it hasn't been easy. Some of you have lost family members or jobs, maybe both, yet, you did your best. For that, we commend and appreciate you.


We will officially re-open our school April 19, 2021. Monday, April 19th, will be for all staff. Students will meet with their teachers virtually for thirty minutes that day. Tuesday, April 20th, PreK-1st grade hybrid students will start on campus. Wednesday, April 21st, 2nd-3rd grade hybrid students will start on campus. Thursday, April 22nd, 4th-6th grade students will start on campus. Students attending school under the hybrid model will attend school on campus from 8:00 am until 11:00am. Students learning online will attend zoom sessions from 12 noon until 3:00pm.


Lastly, please consider joining getting involved. We are establishing our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) and Local School Leadership Council (LSLC). The PTO will help fundraise and conduct educational workshops for parents. The LSLC will make decisions regarding the school calendar, events, and hiring of staff. We are on a mission to build our parent participation. Please come out and support! The school and your children are depending on you to help us all get through this difficult time. We can do it together!


Sincerely,


Michael A. Pile

Parent Spotlight

It Takes a Village....

Avalon Gardens Elementary School is committed to our students and families. We realize that we all must work together for the good of our students. This month we are highlighting three parents that exemplify what it means to be an "AG Bulldog." They are engaged in their student's learning, attend school events, communicate positively with teachers and staff, and have the school's best interest at heart.


Mrs. Reyes, thank you for attending school events with Bryan. We enjoy seeing Bryan's smiling face at the events. We value how supportive you are. Your hands-on support with your child enhances the teacher's lessons. Thank you!


Mr. Dorsey, thank you for your positive energy and participation in school events. We thank you for supporting the School Site Council last year. Thank you for investing in the lives of our students through your volunteer work. Thank you!
