Welcome back!!!
We are so excited to start another school year at De Zavala. We look forward to working with you and your child to have a successful 2022-2023 school year. We will be conducting monthly social emotional lessons addressing a different topic each month. For the month of August we will focus on "Getting to Know Your Counselors" and "Making Connections".
We are here for you. If you need to reach out to us, please refer to the emails and phone numbers listed below.
Start With Hello Activities
The "Start With Hello" program empowers students in grades K-12 to recognize loneliness and social isolation among peers, offering effective strategies to reach out and help and ways they can grow an empathetic and inclusive community. Below are activities that our students will be participating in to kick off our "Start With Hello" campaign. π
