Mrs. Bearden's Weekly Update

January 12, 2026
 

Dear Eagle Canyon Families,

Happy Sleep-In Sunday! I hope you are enjoying the warmer weather this weekend.

I would like to thank all the families who attended the PBIS Pajama/Bingo Party on Thursday night. The Tier 1 team had a great time sharing information about PBIS and playing Bingo. We are already looking forward to next year's event.

On Friday, we will celebrate our 100th Day of School. We typically celebrate with a 100th Day Parade, where students dress up as 100-year-olds. We always look forward to seeing our students transform into little old people. There will be prizes for the best-dressed in each grade level.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS

K-2 ESA WINDOW
If you have a child in Kindergarten, first, or second grade, the window for their Trimester 2 Essential Standards Assessment is open. Please check with your child's teacher to find out when your child will take their assessments. Ensuring they get a good night's rest, eat a nutritious breakfast, and have a good morning will give them the best opportunity to perform well.

SATURDAY SCHOOL
If your child has had an absence, you will receive an invitation to attend Saturday School on Saturday, January 24. This is a fun morning for the students, and it's a great way to remove an absence from their record. Mrs. Mitchell has planned some fantastic engineering projects for the students. Please RSVP to ensure we have sufficient staff and materials to support the number of students.

INTERNET SAFETY PARENT PRESENTATION
On Friday, January 23, 2026, at 8:00 a.m., one of our CVUSD Tech Trainers will present an engaging presentation on how to help your children make safe decisions while online. We will have Mandarin translation available for those who need it. We hope you will join us to learn more about how we can protect your children.

Weeks 21 & 22 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 surpassed our district attendance goal by .09%. 😀 We met the attendance goal on 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.

JANUARY 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 $1,394.90 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!
