The Canyon School Site Council (SSC) has finally finished calculating and analyzing the results of last spring’s School Improvement Plan (SIP) survey. Many, many thanks to everyone who responded to the on-line survey; clearly an excellent way to hear back from you! Thank you to Stacy Vogan (3-4-5 Eliana’s mom) for helping us construct the survey and interpret the data and, of course, to members of the Canyon School Site Council.

Dear Canyon School Community
Ah, Spring in the East Bay: sunny day, cloudy day, rainy day, sunny day, cloudy day. The weather can be quite unpredictable this time of year. It is therefore very important that our children wear layers. It may not seem like a jacket, sweater, long sleeve shirt, etc. is necessary when you leave the house, but it may well be by the time you get here.
Next week all the students from second through eighth grades will be taking the STAR test. It is vital that students get plenty of rest, exercise and good hearty food. At school we will provide water and hard candies during the test and a light breakfast each morning. With your help, your child may have the best testing experience ever.
It seems that everyone has a better grasp of the school’s communication channels. We now know that classroom concerns, questions and issues should be raised first with your child’s teacher and general school inquiries should come to Ramona or me. There is one time of day that is hard for the staff: right before school. It is completely appropriate to quickly ask your child’s teacher if you can set up a meeting time during the morning rush, but please remember those few minutes before the children come in are the teacher’s last chance to be sure s/he is ready for the morning. Please try not to present a lot of information or ask a lot of questions before school without an appointment. It makes things easier for all of us.
Finally, please remember that you can find pretty much everything you need to know about what is going on at school by visiting our website: canyon.k12.ca.us. In closing, I’d like to thank you for letting us work with your children.
Sincerely,
Chris Kerrigan
Principal
