A Message from the Principal of AOC, Dr. Fine
Academy of the Canyons News for the Week of 5/3-5/7
Greetings AOC Families,
I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! We have only 15 more days until final exams!
Click here to access the Weekly Bulletin. This Friday is a FLEX (Tues./Thurs) schedule. Inside the weekly bulletin, you will see information on Make a Blanket Day, student tutors, scholarship information, club news, Senior Capstone Projects, and a change to our free meals for all youth under the age of 18.
Students will receive specific directions from their teachers about final exams week at AOC (5/24-5/28) and the final exams week for COC (6/1-6/3).
During the week of COC exams, students will be expected to return their textbooks at AOC. Please see the bulletin for these details. Also, for any students who purchased a yearbook, we will have a drive through pick up. More details to come.
Have a great week, AOC!
Sincerely,
Dr. Juliet Fine
Good News! AOC Recognized as a 2021 California Distinguished School!
We are pleased to share some good news with our families! Please help us in celebrating the recognition of the Academy of the Canyons being recognized as a 2021 California Distinguished School!
Presented by the California Department of Education (CDE) and sponsored by California Casualty, the 2021 California Distinguished Schools Program recognizes California schools that have made exceptional gains in implementing the academic content and performance standards adopted by the State Board of Education for all students. In 2021, California is using a multiple measure accountability system to identify eligible schools based on their performance and progress on the state indicators as specified on the California School Dashboard (Dashboard). Information about the Dashboard is available on the CDE California School Dashboard and System of Support web page at https://www.caschooldashboard.org.
We will celebrate our California Distinguished Schools at a virtual awards ceremony in the near future.

What is i-Ready?
Update on Graduation, Rehearsals and Senior Sunrise
Rehearsals will be held on Friday, June 4th and will not interfere with our students graduating from COC with their AA degrees. More information to come.
This Friday, May 7th, our seniors are invited to join us for the Senior Sunrise on our Future event. Students are expected to arrive between 5:30 a.m. and 5:45 a.m. Thank you to Roots who will be providing a pre-packaged breakfast that students will receive on their way out of the parking lot. Because the event is being held at COC, students have to remain in their cars. We look forward to seeing our students!
Virtual Senior Awards on May 20th at 6:00pm
