Mrs. Bearden's Weekly Update
Dear Eagle Canyon Families,
Happy Extended weekend! We thank our veterans who made sacrifices to protect our freedom.
VETERANS' DAY
In observance of our nation's veterans, schools are closed. Thank you to all who serve or who have served.
VETERANS' DAY RALLY
The Veterans' Day Rally is on Tuesday. If you or a family member have served in the armed forces, we would love to honor your service. Please plan to join us on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, at 8:15 a.m. We would appreciate it if you could RSVP using the Parent Square message sent on Thursday to support our planning.
If you haven't had a chance to see one of our rallies, we would love to have our community's support.
EAGLE CANYON MAGIC SHOW
Space is limited for this unique experience, where I will be cut in half. Use the link below to purchase the tickets before they are sold out.
ATTENDANCE CHALLENGE
At our first School Site Council meeting, the committee brainstormed strategies to improve overall attendance. They came up with a fantastic idea! Beginning this month, we will track perfect attendance for November. Families with perfect attendance will be entered into a drawing for a preferred parking place for December. Good luck!
Thank you for your continued support,
Mrs. Bearden

Battle of the Schools
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! ๐
When you visit Yogurtland, be sure to ask for a sticker so you can support Eagle Canyon in the Battle of the Schools.
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 three out of the five days last week, averaging 96.38%, a decrease from last week and below the target goal. ๐ฏ In the Ayala Feeder, we ended Trimester One in third 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.
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.
Congratulations to the following classrooms for earning donut holes last week:

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 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 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.
NOVEMBER'S CHARACTER TRAIT - GRATITUDE
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
Tuesday: Wear Red, White, and Blue
Wednesday: Wear university attire
Friday: Wear Eagle Canyon spirit wear
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 $32.90 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!
