This week PTA will be hosting the annual Holiday Gift Shop. This program is designed to allow students to plan, budget and shop independently in a friendly class environment, while experiencing the joy of giving to friends and family.
Update: Parents will be allowed to shop with your students from 3pm – 4pm only. The rest of the campus will be off limits during this time. Please make sure to exit the campus once you are done shopping.
If you plan to shop with your TK and Kinder students between 3pm and 3:15pm, please make sure to check in with the school office. The rest of the school will still be in session at that time so visitors will need a visitor pass.
All gifts will be priced from $1- $15. See attached flier for more information.
We are now in week 10 of 10 in quarter 2. Can you believe it’s the last week before Winter Break? This is an eventful week at Wolf Canyon! As we close up for quarter 2 and enter the holidays, let’s work together to sustain Wolf Canyon Excellence through the finish line- Let’s show The Timberwolf Way by modeling safety, respect, and responsibility at Wolf Canyon!

A shout out to Mrs. Casimiro, Mr. Nixon, and all of our Timberwolf musicians for their wonderful performances at this year’s Bites & Beats event last Friday evening! Our guitar club and school orchestras played some beautiful music for Timberwolf families and the community. It was great to see our students’ progress and our amazing teacher-musicians in action & holiday spirit!
As we continue to prioritize the safety of students and staff, Wolf Canyon, and all CVESD schools, will transition to a closed campus beginning on Thursday , January 15, 2026. A closed campus means that parents/guardians will not be permitted on campus unless they have signed in at the front office. This includes events before, during, and after school.
An overview of the arrival and dismissal procedures that will take effect on January 15, 2026, will be sent out before we leave for December break.
If interested, we will hold a community forum for families to hear the information and ask question on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, at 9:00am. The forum will take place in the Wolf Canyon MPR. Please arrive early and register in the front office.
This Wednesday, December 3, and Friday, December 5 there will be more traffic than usual at Wolf Canyon in the morning due to a scheduled CVESD training at Wolf Canyon at 8am. We encourage you to plan accordingly for increased traffic and limited parking. Families who live nearby are encouraged to walk to school.
Safety is always the number one priority. Please follow all traffic rules and park only in designated spaces.
We are now in week 8 of 10 in quarter 2. As always, let’s work together to sustain Wolf Canyon Excellence- Let’s show The Timberwolf Way by modeling safety, respect, and responsibility at Wolf Canyon!

4. Drive slowly and stop for pedestrians.

Arriving to school on time every day is critical to continuity in learning and having a successful school day.
Yesterday, we had OVER 50 students arrive late to school!!
The school bell rings at 8:45am. Once the bell rings, students who are not through the main gate are tardy. This causes them to be marked tardy and miss important information at the beginning of the school day.
Please support your child’s success by making sure they arrive on time to school.
Simple ideas to help with arriving on time:
Set alarm clocks
Prepare backpack and clothes the night before
Establish a morning routine
Discuss the importance of arriving on time with your child
Traffic is much lighter before 8:30am. Between 8:30am-8:45am, there is a lot of traffic. Save time by arriving before 8:30am!
