Mrs. Bearden's Weekly Update

December 15, 2025
 

Dear Eagle Canyon Families,

Can you believe we are in the last week of 2025? This year flew by!

As a reminder, we only have school this week on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Winter Break begins on Thursday.

I would like to thank Mr. Gonzalez, a parent of one of our sixth-grade students. For the last two years, he has cooked breakfast for our staff. Each year, I show my appreciation to the staff by treating them to breakfast in December. Out of the kindness of his heart, Mr. Gonzalez brings a huge griddle and does all the cooking for me. I don't know what we will do next year when his daughter is in junior high. Thank you, Mr. Gonzalez!

HARKINS FIELD TRIP
Tuesday is the big day! I am thrilled that many of our students are participating in the field trip. We have an amazing PTA!

If you are a chaperone, we kindly request that you check in on Monday afternoon to obtain your badge for the field trip. This will help expedite everything on Tuesday morning.

Week 19 Bulletin
 

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 missed our district attendance goal by .2%. 😢 We met the attendance goal on Tuesday, Thursday, and 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.

JOIN THE PTA!

December Character Trait - Joy

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 $1,366.80 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!
