First, I would like to thank the families who participated in Wednesday's PBIS Family Night. It was fun to watch the energy in the MPR as people were getting Bingo and winning prizes. Our Tier 1 PBIS team did a great job organizing the event.

I want to thank the families who sent their students to Saturday School this weekend. We had a total of 76 students. The students participated in fun activities organized by Ms. Mejia, Mrs. Soto, and Mrs. Summerford. Thank you for making attendance a priority for your children.

Be on the lookout for our school invitation for next Saturday. It is scheduled for Saturday, December 14th, a perfect opportunity for the parents to run errands. 😉

FAMILY RESTAURANT NIGHT

Take a break from making dinner on Wednesday night and support Eagle Canyon's PTA at The Stand. Be sure to show the flyer below when ordering at the restaurant, or enter Eagle Canyon in the coupon code to ensure we get the credit. I aim to be there by 5:00 p.m., and then I might head over to Yogurtland to ensure Eagle Canyon stays in the race.

SAVE THE DATE

The Eagle Canyon PTA has invited Mr. Brock Edwards, a talented magician, to put on a show on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, in the MPR. Be on the lookout for ticket sales soon. You won't want to miss out on the fun. 🔮

Thank you for your continued support,

Mrs. Bearden

You may remember the Dog Haus Battle of the Schools if you were an Eagle Canyon family during the 2019-20 school year. Eagle Canyon won and had a hot dog named after our school for a month.

Yogurtland is currently hosting a Battle of the Schools. If you are able, we would love your support in showing the community how Eagle Canyon rallies together and loves to compete. I see Yogurtland in my future! 😋

One of our families went to Yogurtland on Friday evening. It looks like we are losing. This is a great weekend to enjoy a sweet treat. Will we see you there?

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 four out of the five days last week, averaging 97.11%. In the Ayala Feeder, we continue to rank in 4th place out of five elementary schools. Let's continue to make attendance a priority. If your child was absent, take advantage of the Saturday School on December 14 to remove one absence.

Beginning this week, the stars of the school with impeccable attendance and zero fashionably late entrances will bask in the glory of donut holes courtesy of the Eagle Canyon PTA! Brace yourselves, as two mystery days each week will be the golden ticket for this sugary delight.

When I cannot be out on Eagle Canyon Drive due to being off campus or in a meeting, please follow these common courtesies:

1. Avoid blocking the Eagle Canyon driveway when Ms. Diana crosses students in the crosswalk. This is a great opportunity to allow cars to exit the parking lot.

2. Avoid blocking the intersection of Winchester Way and Eagle Canyon Drive. Some people need to make a left from Eagle Canyon Drive to get home.

3.Please stay in your car in the loading and unloading zones (cabanas and the yellow zone on Eagle Canyon Drive). The faster you drop off or pick up your child, the faster our traffic moves.

Thank you 😊

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.
