Mrs. Bearden's Weekly Update
February 19, 2024
Dear Eagle Canyon Families,
Happy Sleep-In Sunday! The NASCAR season officially kicked off this weekend with races in Daytona, Florida. Hopefully, the rain won't delay the race for too long.
As a reminder, Monday is a school holiday for Presidents' Day! You get to sleep in on Monday! 😴
PRINCIPAL FOR THE DAY
On Wednesday, February 21st, a former Eagle Canyon student who is currently a 2024 graduating senior, will be at Eagle Canyon on Wednesday to serve as our Principal for the Day. We are excited to welcome, Miss Livingston to Eagle Canyon Elementary.
SWEETHEART SKATE 💖
The PTA has a fun event planned for our families later this month. Check out the Sweetheart Skate image below. If you didn't receive the flyer, there are extras in the office. This is a private event for Eagle Canyon families. Let's have some fun and skate to some fun music. Parents, children must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
K12 INSIGHT SURVEY
On Monday, January 22, 2024, Chino Valley Unified School District sent out the annual K12 Insight Survey. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey. If you did not receive it, it is also linked below. If you have children at multiple schools in the district, it is beneficial to complete the survey for each student at each school. For example, if you have a child at Eagle Canyon and Canyon Hills, we would appreciate surveys completed for each student. I use the information collected from the survey in our School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA). Your input is invaluable to Eagle Canyon's success.
Thank you to the 137 parents who have completed the survey! 😀 We are over halfway to our goal of 250 completed parent surveys. Country Springs has 175 completed surveys and they have less students than we do. I know our Eagle Canyon community can work together to meet the goal.
Classes with 100% survey participation will earn an ice cream party. Please send the confirmation for survey completion with your child's name and teacher to the office.
TRIMESTER THREE PERFECT ATTENDANCE
Eagle Canyon will reinstate the Perfect Attendance award beginning in Trimester Three which begins February 20, 2024. The Perfect Attendance award is a requirement to earn the 2023-24 Graduate Award.
- Perfect Attendance: Bell to Bell (Beginning to the End of EACH school day.)
- ALL tardies will count against the award unless accompanied by a Doctor or Dentist note that has been received within five days.
- Early Dismissals only count towards this award when a medical note from a Doctor or Dentist has been received within five business days of the appointment.
SIXTH-GRADE PARENTS
It is time to purchase your yearbook dedication pages. Be sure to get them turned in as soon as possible to guarantee they make it into the yearbook.
Thank you for your continued support,
Mrs. Bearden

Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow
Attendance in school leads to better performance for children when they are adults. As such, CVUSD has a new attendance challenge for the 2023-24 school year. They are challenging schools to attain a 96.5% attendance rate. The school with the highest attendance rate in each feeder group will be awarded a huge trophy at the end of the trimester and earn a school-wide pizza party at the end of the year. Let's work together to earn the trophy and pizza!
School starts every day at 7:50 a.m. To ensure our students make it to class on time, we offer breakfast and supervision beginning at 7:20 a.m. Between 7:15 and 7:40, traffic is very light.
Please make illness the only reason for an absence. When your child misses school, they miss out on important instruction, and it takes a while for them to get caught up. Over the last two weeks, we increased our overall attendance rate to 95.3%. We did meet the 96.5% goal three times in the last two weeks. On February 14th, we only had three students absent. 😀
Let's work together to make attendance a priority!

The app will let you know if any purchased items qualify to earn 10 cents per product. If there are no items, you will still have an opportunity to enter the sweepstakes to win 500 bonus Box Tops. Every receipt has the potential to earn our school money.
As of today, our school has earned $64.50 this year. Our goal is to earn $1,000.00. Please return the coupons to the school office if you also get them. New this year, the PTA plans to host grade-level competitions. Be sure to select the grade level that you want to support. Thank you in advance for your support!
