Canyon Crest Parents/Guardians,

Please note the following weekly announcements.

1. HOLIDAY PERFORMANCE EVENT FOR PARENTS Our annual Holiday Performance Event for parents will be tomorrow, Tuesday, December 17. Doors to the gym will open at 9:10 am. All visitors over 18 years old must have a valid photo ID to be scanned at the door. Parents are invited to park in the main parking lot (west of the school building). We ask that parents do not park on the south parking lot. If there are no available parking spots at Canyon Crest, we invite you to use the parking lot of the church building to the south of Canyon Crest.

We plan to start the event at 9:30am with Kindergarten. Students will perform in the following order: Kindergarten, 1st Grade, 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade, 4th Grade, 5th Grade, and 6th Grade. Each group will take about 7-10 minutes to perform. Please plan accordingly.
