Movie Listings for the Aug 29th Weekend

Hello Cowboys! The Movie Listings are BACK!!

You can find a list of the movies for this weekend HERE.

The top grossing film of the summer, Guardians of the Galaxy, is still playing.  Did you know that it is the first Marvel studios movie to be written by a woman?  Nicole Perlman went to NYU to study screenwriting.   If you are interested in screen writing, please visit THIS link.  It will take you to a website that discusses the best degrees and film schools in the nation. 

Please visit your counselor if you would like to learn more about career options.

Getting Involved Is Just As Important as Getting Good Grades

Most people know that good grades are important for college.  Did you that colleges also look at your involvement in high school clubs and community service?  In fact, many of the scholarships that are offered to seniors are based on your school and community service.

If you haven't joined any clubs at Canyon, don't panic!  On Wednesday, during both brunches, you will have the chance to check out many of the clubs and groups on campus.  The clubs will have tables out on the quad and will be trying to recruit new members.  Please take this opportunity to learn about the different groups on campus and join a few!!

If you haven't had a chance to do any community service, the city is a great resource that provides a lot of opportunities.  Follow THIS link to go their website.

If you have any questions, please stop by the counseling office!

PSAT

Canyon High School offers the PSAT test to sophomores and juniors as a supplemental activity. To learn more about the exam and its benefits, please go to THIS link.

The test will be on Saturday, October 18th.  Your first chance to purchase a test was during registration (it was on the same sheet as the PE clothes and yearbook).  If you didn't buy a test, but would still like the opportunity, the last day to purchase will be Friday, August 29th at the ASB window.  The test costs $20 dollars. 

If you have any questions, please stop by the counseling office.

Here are a few things we want to remind you regarding the schedules you receive at registrarion:

The schedule you get at registration is NOT final.  We are giving you a copy of a tentative schedule during registration so that you can check out the correct textbooks.  If you find an error in your schedule, for example: you are in the wrong level of math, science, English, or if you are in a class that you have already taken, please see your counselor during registration!  On Wednesday, August 13rd, after 3 pm, you will be able see your schedule on Infinite Campus.  PRINT IT OUT!  That is the schedule you should follow on Thursday, August 14th.

What are the chances your schedule will change from the one you got at registration?  There is a 95% percent chance your schedule will be have at least one change.

Do you want to see and talk to your counselor about your schedule?  The ONLY time you are going to be able to do that is during registration.  Once school begins you will be asked to fill out a green change of schedule request form.  The reason for this is that we want you to be in class learning.  Standing in line for hours in the Counseling Office isn't a good use of your educational time.  So please...come see us during registration! 

Here are a few things we can't do for you during registration:

We're sorry future athletes, but we can't drop your PE class class until we get the official rosters from coaches.  We also won't be able to make teacher changes during registration.   

Lastly, we want to say a few words about 1st period classes.  There are VERY few classes that are being offered first period.  Most students (even juniors and seniors) will be starting at 8 am.  If you are placed in a first period when you get your schedule at registration, this could change!  Classes are still moving around and you could be placed in a 6th period class by the time school starts.  Please don't plan your work or transportation schedule until school begins.
