Mrs. Bearden's Weekly Update

Mrs. Bearden's Message: March 18, 2024
Dear Eagle Canyon Families,
I cannot believe we are in our 30th week of school. This year is flying by. After Spring Break (March 25 - April 1) we only have eight weeks of school left. In those eight weeks, we have so many great activities to look forward to end the year. Be sure to stay informed!
SIXTH GRADE PARENTS
As we approach the end of the school year, it is important for you to stay informed regarding the transition to junior high. The best way to stay informed is to check the junior high website on a weekly basis. For those of you who will be at Canyon Hills, the AVID application is now available and closes on Friday, April 5, 2024. Check out the Eagle Canyon or Canyon Hills website to access the AVID information, the application, and the link for the Teacher Recommendation form.
FUN CLUB ENROLLMENT
It is time to think about the next school year. The Fun Club before and after-school program has limited spots each year, so please submit your registration as soon as possible to ensure you get the window. Fun Club registration began on Monday, March 4th. Visit the Health Services page on the CVUSD website or click the link below:

Attendance Information
Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow
Attendance in school leads to better performance for children when they are adults. As such, CVUSD has a new attendance challenge for the 2023-24 school year. They are challenging schools to attain a 96.5% attendance rate. The school with the highest attendance rate in each feeder group will be awarded a massive trophy at the end of the trimester and earn a school-wide pizza party at the end of the year. Let's work together to achieve the trophy and pizza!
School starts every day at 7:50 a.m. To ensure our students make it to class on time, we offer breakfast and supervision beginning at 7:20 a.m. Between 7:15 and 7:40, traffic is very light.
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. Over the last two weeks, we dropped our overall attendance rate to 95.68%. We did meet the 96.5% goal two times in the last two days.
Let's work together to make attendance a priority!
BEAT THE BELL
Students will be entered into a drawing for one of five Yogurtland gift certificates each week for the following:
- Attend school every day
- Arrive to their classrooms by 7:50 a.m.
- Stay at school all day
We are committed to improving Eagle Canyon's attendance. We appreciate your support!

PBIS WALKTHROUGHS
Last month, Eagle Canyon participated in walkthroughs to evaluate our implementation of the Tier 1, 2, and 3 PBIS practices. Based on the results of the walkthroughs, the PBIS teams make adjustments to support the staff with their implementation to support our students.
I am happy to report that we scored as follows: Tier 1 - 93%, Tier 2 - 92%, and Tier 3 - 85%. In April, we will be reevaluated by an external reviewer to ensure we are implementing PBIS practices with fidelity.
BIRTHDAY GREETINGS ON THE MARQUEE

BOX TOP STANDINGS
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 purchasing. The app will let you know if any purchased items qualify to earn 10 cents per product. If there are no 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 $68.50 this year. Our goal is to reach $1,000.00. Please return the coupons to the school office if you also get them. New this year, the PTA plans to host grade-level competitions. Be sure to select the grade level that you want to support. Thank you in advance for your support!
