Safety Notice: Traffic during Arrival & Dismissal

On Monday, May 18, we are expecting heavier traffic than usual during drop off due to grade 6 students leaving to camp in the morning. We encourage you to plan ahead and ride your bike or walk if possible. As always, student safety is everyone’s number one priority. During drop-off and pick-up, please support keep our all students, families, and staff safe by:

1.  Please pick up and drop off your children only in the loading zones (not in the red zone).  

2.  Park only in designated areas. Do not park behind parked vehicles. 

3.  Do not double-park, leave vehicle unattended in red or loading zones.

4.  Drive slowly and stop for pedestrians. 

5.  Use crosswalks. Do not cross through the vehicle drop-off and pick up zone. 

6.  Follow directions from staff, Safety Patrol team, and on posted signs.

Thank you to everyone for your patience and partnership in ensuring a safe and orderly drop-off and dismissal. 

Hello Wolf Canyon Families,

This week, Wolf Canyon students continue to 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! 

Each week for the next 2 weeks, families will also receive a weekly email on Sundays that show which tests each grade level will be taking that coming week. For reference, “LM” is an acronym for Local Measures. LM are CVESD school district tests for all students in grades K-6. “SBAC” is an acronym for Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium. SBAC are California state tests for students in grades 3-6.
