Canyons is powering up its personalized-learning options with the pending launch of Canyons Online, a technology-driven educational initiative recently approved by the Canyons Board of Education.

Starting in fall 2021, Canyons Online will be the CSD program through which high-quality online classes will be provided to third- through 12th-grade students. Licensed teachers with advanced training in the best digital teaching and learning practices will lead classes in core subjects.

“Canyons Online will really offer us the opportunity to act on Canyons District’s principle of innovation,” said Canyons Superintendent Dr. Rick Robins. “Families will have more choice and flexibility in customizing what is best for their students.”

Parents and students interested in the choice and flexibility provided by Canyons Online are invited to learn more about the program at two Information Nights. The next 6-7:30 p.m. event will Thursday, April 15, 2021, in the Canyons Center of the Canyons District Office, 9361 S. 300 East. The livestream can be accessed at CSDTV, the District’s YouTube channel.

The application window for fall classes opens at midnight, Friday, April 16. The window will remain open until April 30. Click here to submit your child’s application.

Volunteers Needed to Help Us Finish the School Year Strong

It’s time to spring into volunteering! With vaccination rates picking up, and the expanding availability of rapid COVID-19 testing, we are now able to safely welcome parents, grandparents, and other helpers back into our classrooms — and it couldn’t happen at a more opportune time.

As we look to finish the year strong, and make the most out of the last few months of instructional time, our teachers could use the extra hands and our students could use the extra encouragement.

“We’re at that point where, by taking the right precautions, it’s safe. And the help is needed,” said Canyons Superintendent Dr. Rick Robins. “One of the great strengths of Canyons District has been having parents and volunteers in our buildings working with our students, and I’m absolutely thrilled to be welcoming them back.”

Greetings!

What delightful weather!!! I know you hear it from me a lot, but I do love our crisp, cool days. The mountains are just glorious! Hopefully once you are done with the Virtual Friday assignments, you have some time outside this weekend.

We are closing up 3rd quarter. 🙂 It is hard to believe that one year ago, they send our students home and we were all online. I am so grateful to our community and your support as we have worked through this school year. Your support of masks and the various safety precautions has been paramount in keeping us all safe and our school open. Thank you!!! I am glad that most of our students are back in person and I cannot wait to have us all back.

As we start 4th quarter, the administration will be visiting all the students in one of their core classes over the first three days of next week. We want to remind our students of the expectations now that spring fever seems to have hit. Reminders about masks, phones, and social distancing will be the focus.
