COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

From the beginning, Don Juan Elementary School has established a proud tradition of connecting with and serving the surrounding community. The first Student Council elected to focus on programs that would encourage Don Juan students to give back to the community.  The staff and teachers at Don Juan Avila encourage the students to step up to the challenge of helping others, which in turn helps our community to stay strong.

About DJAES
Don Juan Avila Elementary School opened its doors in the year 2000. It is the fourth elementary school to be opened by the Capistrano Unified School District in Aliso Viejo. The school is located at 26278 Wood Canyon Drive. It is a beautiful campus sitting on a bluff with a magnificent view of Saddleback Mountain in the distance, and green, cascading valleys below.
 
The Elementary school shares the campus with Don Juan Avila Middle School. Both schools were designed so there is minimum physical interaction between elementary and middle school students during the course of a typical school day.

DJAES teachers and staff strive to provide students with opportunities that meet the highest educational standards.  They work collaboratively in facilitating learning environments that guide our Eagles as they Soar to Success and travel through the 21st century to become global, lifelong learners.  Our goal is to build on each individual student's strengths through creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication.
 
DJAES Eagles "pledge to be Respectful, Responsible, and Ready all day and every day!"
 
DJAES is forever grateful for our wonderful PTA and supportive community.  Their time and dedication to our school enhance the learning opportunities for our children, and provide many fun experiences for our DJAES families.
