Mrs. Bearden's Weekly Update
Dear Eagle Canyon Families,
I hope you are enjoying your long weekend. We get three days to rest to prepare for school and work. School resumes on Tuesday morning.
2025 SCHOOL QUALITY SURVEY
On Monday, the annual School Quality Survey will be available. The survey results guide our work. Last year, 187 families completed the survey. With 645 students, my goal is to have 200 surveys completed to ensure we have more input this year.
STUDENT COUNCIL RECYCLES
The Eagle Canyon Student Council is hosting a recycling drive. The first $200 earned will benefit our garden refresh. Anything above and beyond will be donated to benefit the victims of the Eaton fire.
SMART DEVICES
Many of our students received new devices over the break. Please read the rules regarding devices below to ensure they are not disrupting the learning environment.
SATURDAY SCHOOL
Eagle Canyon is hosting a Saturday School on Saturday, February 1st. If your child has an absence, look for the invitation.
YEARBOOKS
Yearbooks are still on sale for the increased price. Be sure to submit your order to ensure your child gets a copy.
ATTENDANCE CHALLENGE
Congratulations to the Kirk family! They won Priority Parking for January. We are tracking attendance to see who will be in the drawing for February Priority Parking. Good luck!
Thank you for your continued support,
Mrs. Bearden

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 Mr. Choi to sign an agreement to improve overall attendance.
We did not meet our goal once last week, averaging 94.71%, an increase from the week before but almost 2% below the district goal. Our average for December is below the district goal. ๐ฏ In the Ayala Feeder, we dropped to fourth place out of five elementary schools. ๐ช Let's continue to make attendance a priority. If your child was absent, take advantage of the Saturday School on February 1 to remove one absence.
๐ฉDonut be Late!๐ฉ
Each 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.

TRAFFIC REMINDERS - ๐ UPDATED๐
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 an excellent 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 ๐
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 - JANUARY
Each month, Eagle Canyon will focus on teaching students about a character trait. We will share it during our Monday Morning Rallies, and teachers will reinforce it by recognizing one student each month for a monthly award.
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 $42.40 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!
