It’s also important that we are accountable when we make mistakes. No matter the moment, we own it!

These videos are used as a tool to reinforce each leadership lesson outside of the classroom.

Here is tonight’s challenge: 

Any classroom that has all of their students login with their Access Codes, those classrooms will get their first prize on the class poster for free!!

Dear Parents/Guardians and Staff:

The Board of Education has approved changes to the Injury and Illness Prevention Program, the COVID-19 Prevention Plan, and District Guidance to Staff, Students, Parents/Guardians, and the community regarding COVID-19. Below are the changes that were approved and take effect on Monday, August 30:

• The Chula Vista Elementary School District will mandate properly positioned and correctly fitted masks to be worn at all campuses, including District offices, at all times, regardless of vaccination status. Adults may only remove masks when actively eating or drinking. Masks must be worn if anyone is around, students or staff, vaccinated or not. This includes parents/guardians who may be walking their students onto campus or anytime they are on school grounds. Students may only remove their masks to play at recess, during PE, and while they eat, all of which should happen outdoors, weather permitting. Masks are required in hallways while traveling to and from the playground and lunch area and while students gather outside the gate at arrival prior to entering.
• The Chula Vista Elementary School District will form a District-level Safety Committee, with representation from certificated, classified, and non-represented employees, as well as parents, to advise on the creation and implementation of COVID-19 safety measures, and to oversee site-level committees. All school sites will create a Site Safety Committee, with representation from certificated, classified, and non-represented employees, as well as parents, to address site-specific safety concerns and help implement District safety measures.
• The Chula Vista Elementary School District will publish a weekly COVID-19 update with simple, bulleted information, including current District case numbers (including the last reporting date for those numbers) as well as any changes made in COVID-19 guidelines that week. It will be sent directly to stakeholders including, but not limited to, staff and parents/guardians via email and School Messenger and published on the District website in an easily accessible location.

Thank you,

Casey Lange

Good Morning Wolf Canyon Families,

Thank you for your continued support with our drop-off and pick-up procedures. The morning time can be a bit busy and we are always working to make the process as smooth as possible for everyone.

One way we can continue to work together is to remain mindful of the drop-zone. When dropping off in the morning we ask that you pull all the way forward (even if your child uses a the first and second grade gate). We understand that students may have to walk a few extra steps, but if we can get as many people pulling forward as possible, it helps to eliminate the bottleneck that can occur.

Finally, when in the drop-off zone, please do your best to remain in the car and have students exit on the passenger side of the vehicle. We have seen a few close calls when parents exit the car, and another car happens to be driving around in the next lane. If you would prefer to walk your child into school, please park in the parking lot and then use the cross walk.

Thank you,

Wolf Canyon Staff and Student Crossing Guard
