Traffic Expectations

To keep arrival and dismissal safe and smooth for everyone, these procedures must be followed at all times:

• Always drive clockwise around the school.
• Remain in your car at all times while in the carpool lane — no exceptions.
• Always use crosswalks when crossing the street.
• Do not block driveways or park in red zones.
• Do not cut the carpool line.
• Be respectful and follow the directions of our traffic volunteers.

These procedures are in place to keep everyone safe. Your cooperation and respect for these expectations are essential for our community.

Attendance Policy — aim for no more than 7 absences all year

At Canyon, we expect students to attend school every day unless they are ill. Please try to schedule vacations, doctor appointments, and other personal matters outside of school hours. Our instruction is meaningful and rigorous, and missing class can impact a child both academically and emotionally — classroom learning cannot be fully replaced with make-up work.

While we strive for excellent attendance, please keep your child home if they have a fever over 99°F. Anytime your child is absent, log on to canyoncharter.com and click "Report Absence."
