East Heritage Elementary School

Don't forget that Monday, September 11, 2023, is a non-student day.

Thank you to all of our families who attended our Footsteps2Brilliance parent night on Tuesday! Footsteps2Brilliance is a digital literacy program targeted toward TK-3rd grade students that will help build reading skills. Etiwanda School District is offering this free app to families.

Our exciting author event is almost here! On Friday, September 8th, author Melissa de la Cruz will be present at our Escape Room Author Night at Barnes & Noble in Rancho Cucamonga from 5:30 p.m.–7:30 p.m. This fun-filled event supports our school libraries, and there will be activity stations, puzzles, and drawings. Attendees can earn an opportunity to meet Melissa de la Cruz for an autograph by purchasing her newest book, The Super Secret Octagon Valley Society. A percentage of in-store sales from this event will benefit our school libraries. 

In observance of Labor Day, the district office and all school sites will be closed today.

High Five Fridays are back, and we would love to highlight a student, staff member, or parent that you feel has gone above and beyond this week. Please email a photo with a little bit of information to dosocialmedia@etiwanda.org, and we will post it for you.

Please join us for Back to School Night on Thursday, August 10th. The first session will be held from 5:30-6:00 p.m. and the second session will be held from 6:15-6:45 p.m. in your student's classroom. The same information will be held in both sessions. We hope to see you there!

Did you know? Absences add up! Missing Just 2 days a month means a child misses 10% of the school year.

We are so excited to welcome back our Etiwanda students. We can't wait for you to get back to learning, creating, and exploring with your classmates. Please send first-day photos to dosocialmedia@etiwanda.org, and we will post them all week long.

We can't wait to welcome all of our new and returning Explorers to school on Monday, August 7th. Gates open at 7:55 a.m. and the first bell rings at 8:10 a.m. Monday dismissal is 1:15 p.m. See you soon!

Tonight from 5:00-6:00 we will open our campus for our Explorers. To help your student feel more comfortable and confident for the first day stop by to see where your student's class is located. The office and classrooms will be closed, so please check Aeries for teacher assignments.

Today, Old Grove Farm from Redlands visited East Heritage Elementary and gave the students a "farmer's market" experience. This event was organized by our committed child nutrition team, and the students enjoyed it. They also had the opportunity to take some veggies home.

Here are some happy Etiwanda students and families from last week's AAPEAC Family Engagement Night.

April is National School Library Month. Take a moment to thank the amazing library staff at your school site. School librarians work with every student in the school, providing the resources and support learners need in school and beyond and nurturing their love of reading!
