Etiwanda Colony Elementary School

Time together matters more than time on a screen. Whether it’s playing a game, reading a book, or just talking about the day, family moments help kids grow in ways no device can.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends:
Children ages 2–5 should have no more than 1 hour of screen time per day.
Older children should have consistent limits on screen use.

Let’s trade a little screen time for family time—it makes a big difference.

It’s that time of year—the E3 Fun Run is back! Join us for the 20th Annual E3 Fun Run on Saturday, October 18, 2025, at Central Park. This year we’re adding extra excitement with bubbles on the course! 🫧Register by October 3, 2025 to secure your official Fun Run shirt. Sign up on the district website or at bit.ly/E3FunRun25. It’s a great way to support our schools while having fun with family and friends. We can’t wait to see you there!

Please make sure your Etiwanda App is updated to Version 5.2. This update will fix common issues such as problems signing in, being signed out unexpectedly, or having to log in each time you use the app.
