[Wolf Canyon Elementary faces increased enrollment demands for the 2025-2026 school year. To address this, CVESD will initiate a Random Enrollment Process (Lottery) for new student registrations seeking available spaces from February 12, 2025, until 4:00pm on April 30, 2025

Registrations received after April 30, 2025, and those not selected through the lottery will be placed at schools outside the designated attendance area.

Incomplete registrations may result in processing delays.]

Arriving to school on time has a positive impact on learning!

We have noticed an increase in students arriving tardy to school.  On Monday, we had over 70 students tardies!!!

The school day begins at 8:45a. When the bell rings, learning begins! Students who arrive after 8:45a are marked tardy.

Let’s work together to start the day off right and get to school on time! 

Why is being on time to school important?

Research indicates that arriving to school on time is strongly linked to improved academic performance, better attendance, reduced tardiness, increased alertness in class, and even positive impacts on mental health.

Being late to school can negatively impact a student’s academic performance by causing them to miss important information at the beginning of class, disrupt the learning flow for other students, and potentially lead to lower grades and a decreased likelihood of graduation, especially if tardiness becomes a regular habit; it can also signal a lack of responsibility and time management skills, which could affect future career opportunities.

What can you do?

To ensure your child arrives at school on time, establish a consistent morning routine, plan outfits and pack backpacks the night before, set multiple alarms, designate responsibilities for your child, and consider meal prepping to save time in the mornings; always factor in extra time for unexpected delays and communicate with your child about the importance of punctuality.

Hello Timberwolves,

Agenda:

Hello Wolf Canyon Families,

Due to ongoing safety and air quality concerns caused by the Border 2 Fire, Salt Creek, Enrique S. Camarena, Wolf Canyon, Olympic View, Liberty, Eastlake, Thurgood Marshall, and Arroyo Vista will be closed today, Friday, January 24, 2025. All other Chula Vista Elementary School District schools will remain open today.

To prioritize everyone’s health and safety, all students will follow a rainy day schedule due to poor air quality. Recess, lunch, and other planned outdoor activities will take place indoors. If you have specific health concerns regarding your child, please contact your school directly for support.

We recognize that the fire may have caused feelings of fear or anxiety for some of our students and staff. Please know that school staff is available to provide reassurance and help students feel safe.

The Chula Vista Elementary School District will continue to closely monitor the situation and share updates as needed. The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our top priority. If you have any additional questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to your school site.

Arriving to school on time has a positive impact on learning.

This week, we are averaging 50 students tardy per day!!! The school day begins at 8:45a. When the bell rings, learning begins! Students who arrive after 8:45a are marked tardy. Let’s work together to start the day off right and get to school on time!
