Classroom Procedures

PBIS:

  • Be Respectful

  • Be Responsible

  • Be Safe

  • Attendance & Tardies
    When your child is absent, please call the Absence Hotline @ (909) 803-3010 and report your child's absence. Missed classwork and homework is expected to be made up and is due one week from the day of absence. Please try to have your child attend school every day possible as long as your child is healthy. If your child is not feeling well, please do not send them to school.

    I do expect your child to be on time everyday. School starts promptly at 8:10 am. Once the second bell rings at 8:15 am, all the gates will be locked and your child must enter school through the office. They will receive a Tardy Note from the office and then be sent to class. Unexcused absences, tardies, and leaving school early will be recorded on your child's attendance record. Excessive absences will be reported to the attendance administrator. Our instructional time is very valuable; please help make every minute count. 
     

  • Snack
    Growing bodies need a good breakfast and a healthy snack. Some healthy options for snack include fruit, nuts, veggies, cheese sticks, yogurt, granola bars, and crackers. Please do not send candy, cookies, chips, or other junk food for snack. 

  • Lunch Information for the 2024 - 2025 School Year:

    As a partner in education, the Etiwanda School District Child Nutrition Department participates in the School Breakfast Program and the National School Lunch Program.  Meals served to students meet or exceed all USDA nutrition standards. 

Healthy breakfasts and lunches are available every school day to TK - 8th grade students attending Etiwanda School District classes.  Milk and water are available a la carte at a cash cost of fifty cents. 

Meals are free of charge to all ESD students under the California Universal Meals Program.

*Please note that lunch menus will no longer be distributed at school. They are now available on the district's website.

Throughout the year we MAY celebrate holidays such as Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's, etc. If you have any objections or concerns please let me know.
