Etiwanda School District

It might be summertime, but our Colony Cubs are still showing off their school spirit! Let’s kick off this Monday with some school pride!

Big news from Falcon Ridge! Two of their robotics teams are tied for first place after Day 1 at the WRO National Robotics Competition. With top teams from across the country competing at the Ontario Convention Center, Falcon Ridge is proud and excited to cheer on their students as they head into the final day of competition. Let’s go, Falcon Ridge!

Summer Shoutout!
Big thanks to Mrs. Hansen from Caryn Elementary! She's been a dedicated volunteer in the Etiwanda community for years—even long after her grandchildren graduated, most recently from high school. Her commitment to our students and the positive impact she makes are truly priceless.

This past school year, Mrs. Gillespie showed up each and every day with a smile, ready to welcome her students. She also went above and beyond by chairing the site spelling bee, which was a huge success for students in grades 3–5. Thank you, Mrs. Gillespie, for all you do for the Colony Cubs!

The Special Education (SpEd) Team at West Heritage Elementary played a vital role this past school year, supporting students with diverse learning needs and helping ensure every child received a quality, inclusive education. Their dedication made a lasting impact on students, families, and the entire school community.

These 1st–5th grade students were part of the reading intervention program this past school year—and they all achieved more than 100% typical growth! Congratulations to Zoya, Johnny, Luxi, Aaron, Vivian, and Arielle. Their hard work paid off, and we’re so proud of their progress!
