Etiwanda School District

We know there’s someone you’d like to give a high five to—a student, teacher, or administrator who went above and beyond this week! Email a photo and a brief description to dosocialmedia@etiwanda.org and we’ll share them tomorrow. Please send your submissions before 9 AM on Friday.

Our amazing Etiwanda librarians helped students celebrate Dot Day! Each year around September 15, Dot Day encourages students everywhere to “make their mark” through creativity, courage, and collaboration, inspired by Peter H. Reynolds’ book The Dot. From art and writing to digital projects, our students had the chance to express themselves while building a growth mindset and reflecting on their unique ideas.

Terra Vista students celebrated Constitution Day by writing and signing their own class constitutions. To make the day even more memorable, they enjoyed a surprise visit from “George Washington” himself, played by one of Terra Vista’s amazing fifth grade teachers, Mrs. Lopiccolo.

Last week, our Etiwanda teachers showed their dedication to lifelong learning as they explored a new math framework together.

Today we celebrate our incredible IT professionals! Their hard work keeps our schools connected and our classrooms running smoothly. From supporting teachers to making sure students have the tools they need to learn, they play a huge role in education every day. Thank you for all you do for our students and staff!

Here are a few photos from Colony’s Patriot Day event last week. Our Colony Cubs went all out in red, white, and blue to honor the day.

We’re seeing more students riding e-bikes and scooters to school. Please be extra cautious and keep an eye out for them during drop-off and pick-up. If your child rides, take a moment to review safety rules together. Let’s work together to keep all our students safe.

Shout out from Michelle Carney to the 6th grade math team at Summit Intermediate! She shared that she looks forward to their weekly collaboration meetings and feels very lucky to be part of such a great team.

High five to these Golden Stars for receiving the Respect Award at today’s Character Awards!

Another HIGH FIVE this Friday goes out to our teachers in the Induction Program! They spent time working on their goals for the year—a great example of learning and growing together. We know their mentors are proud!

HIGH FIVE this Friday to our middle school ELA teachers for diving deep into CAASPP Brief Writes. What a phenomenal group of educators—our Etiwanda students are lucky to have you!

Today, Caryn Cougars honored Patriot Day by wearing red, white, and blue. Together, we remembered the importance of unity, kindness, and supporting one another.

Students at Solorio Elementary showed their patriotism today by wearing red, white, and blue in honor of 9/11.

Today we honor Patriot Day and remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001. May we never forget the courage, resilience, and unity shown on that day and in the days that followed.

Great turnout at West Heritage’s LCAP Community Forum tonight! Thank you to everyone who joined the conversation and shared their voices.

In honor of Wellness Wednesday, here are some photos from Etiwanda Colony’s Family Fitness Night! Families joined Coach Kris Kleist and the PE team for three fun games that students normally play in PE. Parents and kids had a great time playing together, and everyone went home with workout gear like headbands and wristbands. The evening wrapped up with a raffle full of fun giveaways—a perfect mix of fitness, wellness, and community!

There will be no school on Monday, September 8, 2025 for a Teacher Learning Day. Enjoy the long weekend, and we’ll see our students back on Tuesday!
