Canyon Crest Parents/Guardians,

As we step into the heart of autumn, I first want to take a moment to thank you for your ongoing support as we embrace this school year together. The month of October brings a season of change (the weather is already quite chilly in the mornings during drop-off!), and with it, many opportunities for learning, growth, and connection across our school as students get deeper into learning.

It has been a highlight of the school year so far to see how our students are internalizing our theme for this school year: BE YOUR BEST YOU! Teachers reference our school theme often and students have articulated how they can be the best version of themselves in how they take ownership of their learning, demonstrate kindness towards peers, model respect for teachers, show responsibility in how they treat the building, and more.

Please note the following important October highlights:

-October 4: Safety Drill (Evacuation Protocol)

-October 4: Fall Festival

-October 8: School Fundraiser at Zupas Provo

-October 9: PTA Meeting

-October 11: PTA Reflections Applications Due

-October 14-16: Red Ribbon Week

-October 15: Choir Concert

-October 17-22: Fall Break

-October 29: Picture Retake Day

-October 31: Halloween Parade and Halloween Class Celebrations

Thank you for being an essential part of our Canyon Crest family! Let’s have a great month!

Best, Dr. Sean Edwards, Principal
