Hello Wolf Canyon families!

We understand there has been some confusion regarding our start date, but we are thrilled to announce that LEAD Clubs will kick off this Monday after school!

All students are kindly requested to gather on the blacktop near the grass field, where they will meet Ms. Garcia. Students will receive a snack and a brief break before heading off to their respective clubs. An email containing detailed information about the clubs has been shared with all families.

If you have any further questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out to Ms. Garcia at anai.garcia@cvesd.org. We are here to support and ensure a smooth and enjoyable start to the LEAD Clubs!

Hi Timberwolves!

We wanted to inform you about some important changes regarding the pick-up procedure for students attending the LEAD Club.

Effective immediately, we will no longer be offering curbside pick-up for LEAD Club students. Instead. we kindly ask that all families pick up their student(s) in the auditorium. In two weeks, we will be introducing a new PIN-based system along with a signature requirement for student-pick up. We will provide detailed instructions next week on how to access and use these PINs. Each authorized adult will be assigned a specific PIN to ensure a secure and efficient pick-up process.

This new policy is part of our continued efforts to prioritize the safety and security of all our students.

Additionally, if your student will be walking home from the LEAD Club, please send an email to anai.garcia@cvesd.org to notify us. It is essential that we receive this information to ensure the safety of all students.

Hello Wolf Canyon Families,

It’s August, and that means warm weather. This week will be warm! We are expecting temperatures hovering in the mid 80s early in the week. 

In order to avoid heat illnesses, please ensure and encourage your children to drink plenty of fluids, wear sunblock as needed. Staff and teachers will stay with students in an air-conditioned rooms as possible (e.g. indoor PE) and students will have access to shaded-areas during recess.

Thank you,

Mr. Pollack, School Principal

The Timberwolf Way

Wolf Canyon strives for excellence in all areas, including in how we show respect, responsibility, and respect. At our back 2 school assemblies, we shared wit students the Timberwolf Way- Be Safe., Be Respectful, Be Responsible. Our teachers are also taking time to review behavior expectations. See attached Timberwolf Way Behavior Expectations here:

This school year, Wolf Canyon, will employ a tiered Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) team to support and promote positive school wide behavior. Our team will actively identify trends and action plan according to site needs. As part of this approach, minor behavioral incidents will handled by teachers and staff, while major incidents will be addressed by administration. SWIS Behavior referrals will be used to communicate incidents with families as necessary. Administration will focus support when students receive a major referral, or after a student receives 5 minor behavior incident referrals. Follow up action will vary based on incident type, severity, number of incidents and may include student conference, loss of privilege, parent contact, restorative conference, community service, an/ or other. Referrals will be sent to families for minor incidents as needed, and regularly for major incidents. Families are asked to review the incident with their child, sign the referral, and then return to school the following day. Trends in behavior referral information will allow our PBIS and Safety Teams to allocate resources where needed to support the safety and social-emotional wellness of Wolf Canyon students.

Here is an image of what the Behavior Referral looks like:

This is a reminder of our delivery policy at Wolf Canyon. Office personnel is not responsible for delivering lunches, homework, or other items to students during the school day. If you need to deliver something to your child during the school day, you or your designee will need to sign in as a visitor in the school office and take these items to your child during his/her recess or lunchtime only. Also, please make sure to coordinate how your child gets home after school prior to arriving to school. For everyone’s safety, the office will not be responsible for sending messages to students about after school pick up arrangements.

If you have any questions please contact Mr. Pollack, the school principal

Hello Wolf Canyon!

This message is to inform you that Back 2 School Night has been rescheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 14 @ 5:30pm.

The change is due to Olympian High School having scheduled their Back 2 School Night in the evening of August 15.

Though we strive to plan ahead and avoid changing event dates, separating the Back 2 School Nights helps lighten traffic and parking issues, and it allows families who have children at both schools to attend both Back 2 School Nights!

We appreciate your flexibility and look forward to seeing everyone here at Wolf Canyon on August 14 at 5:30pm!
