Welcome Back Cowboys!!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT SCHEDULES:

    Here are a few things we want to remind you regarding the schedules you receive at registration:
The schedule you get at registration is NOT final.  We gave you a copy of a tentative schedule during registration to check out the correct textbooks.  On Wednesday, August 12th, 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 13th.

What are the chances your schedule will change from the one you got at registration?  There is a 90% percent chance your schedule will have at least one change.

    Once school begins, you will be asked to fill out a Change of Schedule Request Form if you need to schedule a change.  The reason we ask you to fill out a form instead of waiting in line to talk to us 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.  To be fair to everyone, we make schedule changes based on the Change of Schedule Request Forms first.  Any requests done by email or phone message will be done very last, so if you want a change, make sure to fill out the Change of Schedule Form.

It’s important to us that you are happy with your schedule, but there are a few schedule requests that we can’t grant.  Here are a few examples:

We're sorry future athletes, but we can't drop your PE class until we get the official rosters from coaches.
We also can’t change your classes so that you have a different teacher, different period, or different brunch.

    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.


BRUNCHES

   There are two brunch periods at Canyon.  Which brunch you attend is decided by your third period class.  You have first brunch if your 3rd period class in the A, AA, B, BB, C,D,E, or F building.  That means you to to second period, brunch, third and then fourth period.  
    If your third period class is PE or is in the G, J, K, S, T, or V building, you have second brunch.  You will go to second period, third period, brunch, and then fourth period.  If you are at all confused, please see your third period teacher.  They will help you!


COUNSELORS:

Each counselor is assigned a portion of the alphabet.  Students are assigned to counselors according to their last name.  Please take the time to visit and get to know your counselor.  We are here to help you!
