Mrs. Bearden's Weekly Update

December 8, 2025
 

Dear Eagle Canyon Families,

Are you enjoying the beautiful weather this weekend? It is going to be warmer than normal this week. We will have chilly mornings and warm afternoons. Please remind your children to keep track of their jackets and sweatshirts. We tend to accumulate a lot when the weather gets warmer in the afternoons.

I would like to thank the parents of the sixth-grade students. When the sixth graders return from camp, it is an exciting time for the kids and their parents to reunite. The students are exhausted and want to go home, and the parents want to hear all about their time at science camp. First, we need to unload the buses and collect all the luggage. We had so much help! Thank you for stepping up and getting the luggage and sleeping bags off the buses. Next, we must ensure that all students are checked out correctly. Thank you for taking the time to sign the check-out sheet. This is the second consecutive year that we have achieved 100% parent support for the process. 😀

HARKINS FIELD TRIP
The Eagle Canyon PTA is excited to offer another memorable experience for our Golden Eagles. On Tuesday, December 16, 2025, we will have the opportunity to walk to Harkins Theater to watch Zootopia 2. Since Zootopia 2 is rated PG, we require a signed parent permission slip for your child to participate. Additionally, to ensure we arrive safely at the movie theater and return to campus, we need parent volunteers. If you are able to participate, we are seeking four parents from the primary grades and two from the elementary grades to help chaperone. The PTA is thrilled to offer this field trip to our students.

ATTEND TODAY, ACHIEVE TOMORROW

Eagle Canyon's student attendance will be a focus this year. Regular attendance in school leads to better academic performance for children when they become adults.

Please make illness the only reason for an absence. When your child misses school, they miss out on essential instruction, and it takes time for them to catch up. Parents of students at risk of Chronic Absenteeism will be required to meet with Mrs. Bearden or Mrs. Madkin to sign an agreement aimed at improving overall attendance.

We surpassed our district attendance goal by .36%. 😎 We met the attendance goal on Tuesday through Friday. Please continue to make attendance a priority to ensure your child is prepared for the next grade and beyond.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

happy birthday

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. 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.

DECEMBER CHARACTER TRAIT

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 that 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 generate money for our school.

As of today, our school has earned $1,364.00 this year. Our goal is to earn $1,500. Be sure to select the grade level that you want to support. Shout out to First Grade! They have submitted the most Box Tops since July 1, 2025. Thank you for your support!
