Avalon K-8

Performing Plus Charter K-8

Individualized attention. That's what sets us apart from public schools. At Avalon K-8 we educate each child as an individual - something we achieve everyday thanks to one of the best staff to student ratios in Arizona.

Back to Basics. We teach fundamentals of math, reading and writing using innovative strategies and proven methods.

Technology. With two modern computer labs, assistive technology in the classroom, and a forward-thinking technology curriculum, Avalon students will outpace public school students in acquiring the jobs of tomorrow.

Executive Director's Corner

A Message from Michael McCord

On behalf of the Excalibur Family & Community, it is truly my pleasure to extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to you as we begin the 2011-2012 school year at Avalon Elementary School.  July is the time of year to reconnect with old friends and welcome new friends. We at Avalon are very pleased to welcome everyone to the 2011-2012 school year!  To those students and parents who are new to Excalibur School District we extend an especially warm welcome and best wishes for an exciting and productive year in your new school. We hope that you will quickly feel at home and become involved in the activities of our school through the PTO and your child’s classroom program. 

THE 2011-2012 SCHOOL YEAR:

As I begin my first year as Avalon new Executive Director, I will continue to work diligently with parents and faculty to foster an atmosphere that promotes a learning community characterized by child centered instruction and decisions, academic excellence, trust, respect, community involvement, excellent communications, and recognition of both student and staff achievement. I am committed to working in collaboration with you to continue to develop and implement this shared vision. Working together as a team we will move forward in our mission this new school year to create a nurturing, disciplined, and challenging environment in which all students can learn at optimum levels and become responsible members of society.  We have so much to be proud of as a staff, family, and community.
