Welcome

Avalon Elementary School has an excellent educational program Kindergarten through 6th-grade taught by a talented and dedicated faculty. Our faculty and staff take great pride in curriculum and instruction offered to our district’s youngest learners. We are committed to providing each student with an education in which essential information and skills are learned, knowledge is explored, and ideas are critically analyzed and evaluated.

The effort to meet each child’s needs for growth socially, emotionally and academically—is ongoing. We use student assessment data and curriculum review and revision to develop appropriate classroom and differentiated instruction. However, it is the small class environment that fosters our teachers’ abilities to get to “know” their students and their individual strengths, challenges, and passions - ensuring each child’s positive school experience and love of learning.

Our parents play an important role in our students’ lives and success at school. We are fortunate to have an active, strong parent-teacher organization to support and enhance our programs and activities.

Your child’s elementary school years are a special time in his or her life. Our priority is to engage and excite your child about their entire school experience. Building strong academic and social skills during the pivotal K-6 years provides a pathway for long-term success. We invite you to participate in our school community and to enjoy the excitement of learning.
