Mrs. Bearden's Weekly Update
February 22, 2021
Dear Eagle Canyon Families,
Please remember tomorrow is a school holiday. School will resume on Tuesday, February 23rd.
On Friday, I sent a message with a letter from Dr. Enfield regarding last week's CVUSD Board Meeting. There will be a special board meeting on Tuesday where our school board will make a decision about reopening schools for Blended Learning. If your child is in a Blended Learning class, be sure to tune into the CVUSD Special Board Meeting via You Tube at 4:00 p.m. If you are not sure whether your child is in a Distance Learning or Blended Learning class, you can access this information on the Aeries Parent Portal. If your child is in a Blended Learning class, you will also be able to see which Cohort your child is assigned.
ELPAC TESTING
Our English Language Learners (ELL) will continue their English Language Proficiency Assessment for California (ELPAC). This assessment assesses a student's progress for their English language development over the year. Dr. Titus and a team of teachers will continue to conduct testing.

STORYTIME ON FACEBOOK
We hope you will join me this Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. where I will share a story with our students. I'm hoping more families will be able to join live at 4:30 p.m. If you have joined the Eagle Canyon Facebook group or follow the Eagle Canyon PTA Instagram page, your child will be able to enjoy the story live or they can watch at a more convenient time for your family.
ATTENDANCE
Families are beginning to receive letters regarding their child's attendance. Please understand, teachers are required to document their students' engagement during live instruction. Students are required to remain present in their virtual class during live instruction. When students turn their cameras off and do not respond when called on to participate in a class discussion, they are considered absent.
Please help us by talking with your children about the importance of being engaged in daily instruction and learning activities. Also talk to them about only opening tabs their teachers ask them to open. It is very easy for students to open video games in other tabs, but look like they are engaged in live instruction. We need to work together to prevent learning loss during Distance Learning. It will take everyone working together to help our students succeed. Thank you for your help!
Masks and physical distancing is a requirement when on any Chino Valley Unified campus. Thank you for your support!
Thank you for your continued support,
Mrs. Bearden
