Registration, Residency, Zone Transfers and Enrollment Survey

Hello, Wolf Canyon parents!

Do you have questions about registration, residency verification, zone transfers, and/or enrollment?  Please read below to get those questions answered.

Online Registration:  This process is only for NEW students to Wolf Canyon for either the 19-20 or the 20-21 school year.  Visit the CVESD website for instructions. LINK  Current Wolf Canyon families DO NOT need to complete this process.

Residency Verification:  For CURRENT families, this process is ON HOLD at the moment. Many of you want to provide proof of residency to ensure that your child is placed on a class roster for next year, but we do not want you to worry about this right now.  When we finalize the process for providing proof of residency, we will let everyone know!

Zone Transfers:  Some of our Zone Transfers were completed before school closure, and some were still pending. If you are awaiting a response, please be patient. You will get notification from the District if your ZT was approved soon.

If you are applying for a new Zone Transfer for a sibling, please know that since Wolf Canyon is an impacted school, we are NOT taking any NEW ZT’s, even for siblings.  Resident families are still enrolling, and we will know more about having available space at a later time.  For now, please be patient, and should we have space, siblings are a priority.  Families can apply for new Zone Transfers at their school of residence via email. Please visit the cvesd.org website for a list of schools and staff directory.

Enrollment Survey:  We need your help in planning for our NEW school year in 2020-2021. To assist us in planning our classes and enrollment numbers, it is always helpful if we know whether your child (ren) will be returning to Wolf Canyon.

Please click the link below and take a moment to complete the online form.  Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

Questions?  If you have any questions, please contact our school secretary, Vicky Bowman at Victoria.bowmant@cvesd.org

Incoming kindergarten assessments have been canceled.  We will assess once school opens again.

Good afternoon, Wolf Canyon Families!

Thanks for making Week 2 of Distance Learning (DL) a success!  Continue to support your child to reach his/her personal best each day.  As I tackle each day, I remind myself that we’ll be better parents, children, & learners once we get on the other side of this unexpected crisis.

As you know, Wolf Canyon values educating the whole child… in addition to the traditional content areas, we also emphasize the importance of the arts.   While I’m convinced that we have the best VAPA teachers in the district, there are also some other VAPA talents you may want to interact with as well.  To participate in fun, interactive lessons in theatre, visual arts, music, and dance, you should check out the CVESD VAPA YouTube videos!  Interested?  Just click here:  CVESD VAPA YouTube Videos

Enjoy your week, Timberwolves!

Warm regards,
Mathew Shy, Principal

Greetings, Wolf Canyon Families!

As we begin Week 2 of distance learning, I trust that you’ve started to establish structures and routines to support learning at home.  With our students using technology more than ever before, challenges will obviously occur.  Remember to take deep breaths!  Our team of dedicated teachers will be here to assist you along the way, as we’re all in this together.

At the beginning of this school year, each teacher taught a unit of study regarding digital citizenship.  Our team will continue to remind students of expected norms regarding digital safety.  To the extent possible, we also ask parents to monitor the online activity of your child.

Below are some great free resources for parents to support online learning and digital citizenship.

Good afternoon, Wolf Canyon Families!

I hope this finds you well.  I wanted to share that it has been approved for the Military Counselors (MFLC) to temporarily provide virtual counseling services due to COVID-19. This is very exciting news since it allows our military counselor, Mrs. Marie, to continue to provide services to our families!

Please be aware that you must call Mrs. Marie to set up a virtual counseling session or to ask any questions you might have as she cannot communicate through email due to confidentiality. Wolf Canyon’s military counselor, Marie Perez, is at your service and she looks forward to hearing from you. Her number is 619-694-7299.

Please see the flyer for information.

Good evening, Wolf Canyon Families.

The Wolf Canyon Team is excited to implement our first week of distance learning starting tomorrow, Monday, April 13.  We’ll strive to provide your child with a quality education in a nurturing, virtual classroom environment during this last quarter of the school year.

Since distance learning is new for both teachers and students, I respectfully ask that you are patient with our instructional team.  Rest assured, we’ll work hard to support you and your child through this new model of learning.

We understand that each Wolf Canyon family has a different dynamic; therefore, our goal is to be as flexible as possible, while also engaging your child academically to keep learning alive and well while at home.

As we begin this journey together, I encourage you to consider the following:

1. Create structures and routines to engage your child in distance learning.
   1. Locate a quiet location for learning & utilize this space each day.
   2. Determine the best timeframe for your child to work uninterrupted.
2. Communicate successes & struggles with your child’s teacher.

We have a great week ahead of us!  Enjoy your evening.

Mr. Shy
