Commitment to College and Career Readiness
Our school’s guiding vision remains: “All students at Etiwanda will graduate ready for college and career.” To support this vision, we are focused on:
- Offering new courses and expanding our college preparatory offerings.
- Ensuring our curriculum remains relevant and applicable to real-world applications, preparing students for success beyond the classroom.
- Increasing both academic and health & wellness interventions.
- Continuing to align our supports to ensure students meet both graduation and A–G college entrance requirements.
- Providing before- and after-school academic support.
- Infusing curriculum with cultural relevance reflects and celebrates the diverse experiences of our student body.
Updated Cell Phone Guidelines
To protect and enhance instructional time, Etiwanda High School is implementing new cell phone guidelines designed to minimize distractions and keep students more focused on learning during class. These guidelines will be disseminated to our families and students prior to the start of the school year.
Building Relationships
We recognize that for many students, this may be their first time stepping onto the EHS campus. While this may come with some nervousness, our dedicated staff is ready to welcome each student with warmth, understanding, and support. At Etiwanda, we believe that strong, trusting relationships between staff, students, and families are foundational to student success.
Communication Tools
We strongly encourage every family to stay connected through the following platforms:
- Canvas – Monitor assignments and course progress.
- Aeries – Access grades, transcripts, and attendance records.
- ParentSquare – Our primary communication tool for school updates, announcements, and messages.
It is essential that all parents register for ParentSquare to stay informed and engaged throughout the school year.
Family Engagement Opportunities
We invite all families to be active participants in our school community. Consider joining one of our impactful parent organizations:
- Etiwanda High School PTO
- ELAC (English Learner Advisory Committee)
- AAPAC (African American Parent Advisory Council)
Your involvement helps strengthen the support network for all Etiwanda students and staff.
Eagle Pride!
