As a reminder, students will return for the first day of spring semester on Tuesday, January 7th, to allow CVHS staff time for professional development on Monday.

Can't wait to welcome our Jaguars back to school!

See you soon, CV Family!

On Tuesday January 7th, we will be rotating learning Learning Labs: Teacher Learning Labs

Why do we rotate? Canyon View High School spaces were designed as student-owned spaces, and teachers include space use in their planning. Each unique space provides a unique learning opportunity. For example, some spaces provide opportunities for small group collaboration while others allow for easier presentations by individuals or teams.

Teacher learning labs will NOT update in synergy. Our teachers communicated their new lab locations in class and on students' Google classrooms. We will also have learning lab locations posted around campus. You can also find learning lab locations on the following link: Teacher Learning Labs

Open Enrollment applications for the 2025-2026 school year are open. This is your opportunity for students to apply to a school outside of their zoned boundaries or for students outside of the district. Applications can be sumbitted online at: https://www.aguafria.org/Page/5439.

*New this year: Check out the updated school boundaries at www.aguafria.org/registration before submitting your application. Students who will be registering for the school they are zoned for will not need to submit an Open Enrollment application they will complete registration which will open in January for 25-26 school year.

(Please be aware that current high school students will not be impacted by the boundary changes)

Don’t miss this chance to find the best fit for your student’s future!

Civics Test - did your child take this test in 8th grade?

Both our feeder districts, Avondale (AESD) and Litchfield (LESD) Elementary School Districts, have administered the state required Civics test to students in 8th grade. AESD gave the test to our current 9th grade students (Class of 2028) and current 10th grade students (Class of 2027). LESD gave the test only to our current 9th grade students (Class of 2028).

We have records from both the Avondale and Litchfield Districts of which students received a passing score. We are working to make sure the right individuals at each high school receive this information. Please do not contact the feeder districts to request scores.

In addition to the opportunities for our students to meet the Civics test graduation requirement while they were either in AESD or LESD, we also offer students the opportunity to pass the Civics test during high school. CVHS tests beginning in the 10th grade and will continue to pull students through their senior year who have not yet tested/passed the test.

COURSE SELECTION FOR GRADES 10 AND 11:

Counselors will be working on course selection all this week. It is imperative that the course selection forms are completed, signed by the student, and signed by the parent.

PATHWAYS:

It is important for everyone to know that CTE Pathways are a two year consecutive program. For example, Marketing I and Marketing II. A pathway is not two separate programs such as Marketing I and Graphic Design I. The requirement is for the student to be in a two year pathway.

BALANCING OF CLASSES FOR NEXT SEMESTER:

Counselors have been asked to take a look at class rosters and make necessary changes to student schedules. Counselors will communicate any and all changes with the students. If you have concerns or questions please reach out to your grade level Administrator.

DUAL ENROLLMENT:

Dual Enrollment questions should be directed and answered by Mrs. Quezada our College and Career Specialist. Here is her picktime link. Schedule an appointment with her!
