📚 We are excited to welcome our Zavala students back! The doors will open at 7:15 AM with breakfast being served in the cafeteria starting at 7:30 AM. After breakfast, 3rd and 5th graders will stay in the cafeteria, while 2nd and 4th graders will head to the gym to wait for their teacher. Please note that parents will not be able to walk their child into Zavala. Tonight, locate your CarRider Pro tags and talk with your student about how they will be picked up. If they are a walker, ensure that you have let your student's teacher or the office know. Also, talk with them about the route they will be taking from school to their destination. Bus students must be registered to ride the bus with the Transportation Department. We are looking forward to a great year! 🌟 Remember, Zavala Elementary LOVES YOU! 💜💛
