End-of-year Testing Supplies – As we approach our assessments to conclude the year, many of this year’s tests will be online and require headphones. If possible, please send your child with a pair of CORDED headphones or earbuds in order to use for testing purposes. They should keep headphones inside their backpack and only utilize them during tests that require audio portions. If your child is unable to bring headphones or earbuds, please let us know. Thank you!
Class of 2024 Promotion Pictures! – Tomorrow, Tuesday, April 16th, 2024, will be Picture Day at Wolf Canyon! However, for our sixth graders, they will be taking their PROMOTION PICTURES!!!! Our sixth graders will be wearing a cap and gown to commemorate the end of their elementary schooling. The picture will be used for end-of-year certificates and you will have the option to order prints to keep. Since students will be wearing caps and gowns, students do not have to dress up. Students may style their hair as the cap doesn’t cover the entire top of the head. Where has the time gone???
