Avalon Elementary School

Avalon’s Summer message from Ms. Walcott:
As we wrap up another wonderful school year, I want to thank our families for your continued partnership and trust. Together, we have created a nurturing environment where every child is known, supported, and inspired to learn.

If you are new to our community and exploring school options, we are proud to be part of Collier County Public Schools, an A-rated district committed to academic excellence and meeting the unique needs of each student. Enrollment is simple and convenient through our district’s online system. The first day of school is Tuesday, August 11, 2026. For School Year 2026-2027, our school day will begin at 8:15 a.m. with dismissal at 2:55 p.m.

For our returning families, we look forward to welcoming your child back soon. We are excited to begin another great year together. During the summer, we encourage you to read together and take advantage of the 2026 Summer CCPS Classics Reading List. Families are also encouraged to explore the CCPS Summer Learning activities, available now to help students prepare for the next school year.

As you begin preparing for the new school year, please review the School Supplies information available on our school website to ensure your child is ready for a strong start.

Our school is more than a place to learn. We are a caring community where students build friendships, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning. We are proud to be a school you can trust and a choice you can feel confident making for your child’s future.

In partnership,
Lynda Walcott

Principal

And just like that, the 2025-2026 school year is officially in the books! Thank you to our incredible students, families, and staff for making it such a fantastic year.

Before you head off into the sunshine, be sure to mark your calendars for our 2026-2027 Meet the Teacher event on Monday, August 10, from 9:30am to 11:00am. Students and their families will have the opportunity to meet their teacher(s) and see their classroom.

Have a fantastic summer! See you in August!
