End-of-Year Testing:

This week, Wolf Canyon students will engage in end-of-year (EOY) school district and state testing.  EOY testing is a great opportunity for students to shine and demonstrate skills they have developed this school year! EOY testing also allows students, teachers, and staff to celebrate successes while reflecting in areas to improve. During testing, it critically important that students arrive on time to school, ready and motivated to engage with testing. We encourage you to inspire your students to do their absolute best! 

A separate email was sent earlier today (Sunday) to families with more information on testing this week. Should you have any questions, please email your child’s teacher or our administration team.

Hi Timberwolves!

We are so excited to share something special with our school community, Wolf Canyon is putting on its very first musical, Annie Jr.!

Our students have been working hard for weeks learning songs, dances, and lines, all while building confidence, teamwork, and creativity. For many of our performers, this is their first time ever being part of a musical, and they are thrilled to showcase their talents on stage.

We hope to see you there and feel the love from our Wolf Canyon community!

Performance Details:
 Location: Wolf Canyon MPR
May 14th/15th @ 6PM.

This Mother’s Day, we celebrate the incredible mothers in our Wolf Canyon learning community who support, inspire, and cheer on our students every single day! From helping with homework and to offering encouragement, hugs, and laughter, your impact reaches far beyond the classroom walls. Your dedication helps children grow into confident and curious learners, and we are truly grateful for all that you do!

Wishing all our amazing moms a joyful Mother’s Day filled with appreciation, smiles, and a little well‑deserved fun! 💐

We are excited for our annual Chalk Walk! Each year, our wonderful VAPA teacher, Mrs. Adamos, brings our school together for this special collaborative art event where students recreate beautiful book cover artwork in chalk across our sidewalks. This event would not be possible without the support of our amazing volunteers. Please reach out to your child’s teacher for specific ways to help.

Thank you for helping make this creative tradition so special for our students!
