Student Spotlight: Surveen!
Congratulations to Surveen for an outstanding showing at both the ESD and SIMSEF Science Fairs!

At the SIMSEF Science Fair at the University of Redlands, Surveen earned a Junior Category Gold Medal, the first-ever SIMSEF Judge Interview Ribbon, a nomination to compete in the Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge, the Citadel Securities Innovation Prize with scholarship, and 1st Place in the 2025 SIMSEF and Engineering Fair Junior Division by IE PECG, which included a scholarship.

What an incredible accomplishment! Congratulations, Surveen, on your hard work, innovation, and dedication to science!

Safety first! Our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students participated in an e-bike safety assembly focused on traffic laws, helmet safety, and making smart choices to help prevent injuries. We’re proud to give our students the knowledge and skills they need to ride safely and responsibly in our community!

The district is looking for a Credential Analyst to join the team. Learn more about the position and application process on the district website. Applications close September 9, 2026.

A good book can take you anywhere! Etiwanda students know there’s nothing quite like holding a book in their hands and getting lost in a story. Books can transport readers to places they’ve only dreamed of, while reminding them that they’re never alone in their feelings and experiences. As Misty Cooper reminds us, sometimes the best adventures are found between the pages.

Our Etiwanda Induction teachers are learning more about their students and thinking about meaningful ways to build stronger connections in the classroom. By getting to know their students as learners and individuals, they are creating opportunities to support each student’s growth and learning.

Does your child already have an e-bike, or are you thinking about getting one? Join Megan Lamb, Co-Founder of E-Bike Sense, for an informative conversation focused on e-bike essentials, safety, and security.

This is a great opportunity for families to learn practical tips to help students ride safely and responsibly.

Mrs. Arellano and Ms. Striegel’s classes had a cool time making their very own ice cream! Nothing better than learning, experimenting, and enjoying a sweet treat at the end!

Friday High Five to the amazing Falcon Ridge volunteer moms who stepped up to help make afternoon pickup safer and smoother as the new school year got underway!

For the first seven days of school, Amber, Argie, and Ti’Lena braved the summer heat and some very determined parents in the pickup line to help direct traffic, support families, and keep dismissal moving. Their time, patience, and commitment helped start the school year on the right foot.

A huge High Five to these amazing moms for showing what Falcon Ridge community spirit is all about! Their support is making a positive difference for students, families, and staff.

Two BIG High Fives today for Mrs. Stadler from SIS and Lily, a DWL Ranger, on this special Friday!

Mrs. Stadler has been working overtime to prepare bus passes and help ensure the school year gets off to a smooth start. Lily celebrated her first band practice with Mr. Peske and was recognized this week as an excellent student who models respect and responsibility.

Two well-deserved High Fives for two amazing members of our school community! Their families are SO proud of them!

Shoutout to Mrs. Ramirez and Ms. Angie! Their care and dedication are making a meaningful difference for students at West Heritage Elementary. We are so grateful for the amazing staff who help our students feel supported, welcomed, and ready to learn.

Shoutout to Ms. Stevens and her VAPA students at Perdew Elementary!

Students are exploring the power of movement and nonverbal communication through theater arts, using their creativity and expression to bring their learning to life. We love seeing our students grow their confidence and communication skills through the arts!

Do you know a student, teacher, staff member, or member of our Etiwanda community who deserves to be recognized for going above and beyond?

Give them a High Five! Send your shoutout and a photo to dosocialmedia@etiwanda.org by 9 a.m. Friday, and we may share their story with the Etiwanda community.

Let’s celebrate the people who help make our schools great places to learn, grow, and thrive!
