Mrs. Bearden's Weekly Update
Dear Eagle Canyon Families,
I am so thankful for the rain this weekend. Hopefully, it will help the firefighters get a handle on the numerous fires around Southern California.
2025 SCHOOL QUALITY SURVEY
On Monday, January 20, 2025, Chino Valley Unified School District sent the annual K12 School Quality 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, completing the survey for each student at each school is beneficial. 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 29 parents who have completed the survey! We are 15% towards our goal of getting 200 completed surveys. On this rainy weekend, take some time to complete the survey if you haven't done so yet.
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.
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. This is a fun opportunity for our students to recoup one day of attendance.
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 94.43%, a decrease from the week before and more than 2% below the district goal. Our average for December is below the district goal. 😯 In the Ayala Feeder, we dropped to fourth 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 February 1 to remove one absence.
🍩Donut be Late!🍩
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.

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.
WEEKLY SPIRIT DAYS
Wednesday: University Attire
Thursday: Wear pink to show our support for Mrs. Summerford

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 $43.40 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!
