Panther Families,
We had an amazing time of unity and celebration this week as a school site. On Tuesday our school celebrated our National Blue Ribbon School Award with a schoolwide Pep Rally. Canyon High School band, cheer, and song performed for our students. Our District's Superintendent, Board of Education, and other distinguished leaders joined in on the celebration to congratulate our students and staff. Please see below to see some of the great moments captured during the Pep Rally.
This week I also started STEM Lab Lessons with the Principal. Before we leave for winter break, I will have met with each class in the STEM Lab for their first STEM Lab Lesson with the principal. During these lessons, we will learn about and go through a Design Thinking cycle while infusing STEM skills and activities. I enjoyed the first three this week, and I look forward to the rest.
Parents, please help us inform our future budgets by taking the LCAP survey. You can find the survey at this link: https://ocde.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_e2tPTKGxbhB58YC?Survey=Parent
I hope that you and your family have a safe and memorable Fall Break.
Please see below for this week's updates. Have a great weekend!
Best,
Mrs. Van Wilgen Moore
Principal

AHES Parent Volunteer Updates
OUSD is now allowing a very limited number of parents onto campuses to support essential activities and learning experiences for our students. Parent volunteers must complete the HR paperwork and get cleared before coming onto campus.
Vaccinations are required to start the process and to be cleared as a volunteer to comply with CDPH guidance for volunteers.
For those parents interested in volunteering on campus please complete the proper form below:
Volunteer Forms Over 5 hours per week
Volunteer Forms Under 5 hours per week
Your child's teacher will reach out to parents when volunteer opportunities are available. We are currently allowed five parents on campus a day, so as we start this volunteer opportunities will be limited and we look forward OUSD expanding volunteer options as the school year progresses. Only cleared and pre-scheduled volunteers will be able to participate in volunteer opportunities.
Thank you!
