Mrs. Bearden's Weekly Update
Week six
Mrs. Bearden's Message: September 9, 2024
Dear Eagle Canyon Families,
We survived the first half of the heatwave last week. The kids did a great job working with us to navigate lunch with multiple grade levels in the MPR.
Temperatures at the beginning of the week are forecasted to be over 100 degrees. Luckily, there is a cooldown on Wednesday, just in time for our 9/11 Rally.
9/11 RALLY
It is time to begin preparations for Eagle Canyon's annual tribute to 9/11. We look forward to remembering all those who lost their lives saving others on September 11, 2001, at the 9/11 Rally. It is also a time for us to honor our local heroes who serve as first responders. If you have a family member or know someone who is a police officer, firefighter, doctor, nurse, or paramedic, please invite them to attend our 9/11 Rally scheduled on Wednesday, September 11, at 8:15 a.m. Encourage first responders to arrive early to complete the information we need for the rally.
THINKNLOCAL FUNDRAISER
The annual Thinknlocal Fundraiser begins on Monday. This fundraiser supports Eagle Canyon and encourages to shop and dine locally. Let's support our community's local establishments. It is very easy to participate. Check out the image below to see which companies are supporting our fundraiser. You can scan the receipt when you shop or dine at one of the participating companies. Eagle Canyon will earn a percentage of the proceeds for every dollar spent. If you are unsure how to scan your receipt, PTA will collect and scan the receipts for you. There will be a box in the office for receipts.
Thank you for your continued support,
Mrs. Bearden

Attendance Information
Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow
Eagle Canyon's student attendance will be a focus this year. Attendance in school leads to better performance for children when they are adults.
Please make illness the only reason for an absence. When your child misses school, they miss out on necessary instruction, and it takes a while for them to get caught up. Parents of students at risk of Chronic Absenteeism will have to meet with Mrs. Bearden or Mrs. Jenkins to sign an agreement to improve overall attendance.
We met the 96.5% goal every day last week, averaging 97.64%. Let's continue to make attendance a priority. Last Friday was the first Friday since the first week of school that we met the Daily Attendance Goal. Thank you! 😊
Additional Information
TRAFFIC REMINDERS
Traffic before school and after school can be heavy. Please plan to leave your house early to avoid the rush.
BUS GATE/EAGLE CANYON DRIVE
This is a loading/unloading zone only. Please do not park where there is a yellow curb. You could be at risk of receiving a ticket from a San Bernardino Sheriff's Deputy.
PARKING LOT
Students are not allowed to walk in the parking lot without an adult. Please do not ask them or an older sibling to walk to your car. You must accompany them to ensure their safety.
Please drive in the parking lot with caution. When people are distracted while driving, they create unsafe environments for themselves, the students, and other vehicles in the parking lot.
U-TURNS
U-turns are not allowed in front of Eagle Canyon Drive. If you make a U-turn, you risk getting a ticket from a Sheriff's Deputy. If you are in a hurry, continue to drive up Eagle Canyon Drive. There is an exit to Chino Ave. further up the street.
EAGLE CANYON APARTMENTS
I have received reports from parents of cars speeding through the Eagle Canyon Apartments. Please be mindful of our neighbors and the children who are walking home. We want everyone to get home safely.
Thank you!
BIRTHDAY GREETINGS ON THE MARQUEE
Another way you can support our PTA and celebrate your child's birthday is to purchase a birthday greeting for $25 that will be displayed on your child's birthday and run for one week. If interested, please stop by the office, complete the request, and submit the payment. Please be sure to plan in advance. We need two weeks' notice before the birthday to ensure everything is timed correctly.
The kids get so excited seeing their birthday highlighted on the marquee. Out of safety, we will never publish your child's last name, only the initial.
CHARACTER TRAIT - SEPTEMBER
We can no longer use Core Essentials. As a result, we will focus on one character trait per month and continue to recognize students for demonstrating the character trait. The new monthly award will be called the Golden Eagle - Character Trait Award.
WEEKLY SPIRIT DAYS
Wednesdays: Wear red, white, and blue to honor of Patriots Day.
Fridays: Wear Eagle Canyon spirit wear or our school colors, blue and yellow
SUPPORT EAGLE CANYON
A popular fundraising opportunity all families can support is Box Tops. Download the Box Top app on your phone. You must scan your receipts on the Box Top app within 14 days of the purchase. The app will let you know if any purchased items qualify to earn 10 cents per product. If there are not any 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 $29.60 this year. Our goal is to earn $500. Please return the coupons to the school office if you also get them. Be sure to select the grade level that you want to support. Thank you in advance for your support!
