Canyon District news
Effective the 2012/2013 school year, Canyons School District is making a move to Styrofoam lunch trays. It will cut a job at each school, which they feel is more economical, but the cost of the trays and plastic utensils is actually greater. Not to mention to cost to our environment. If you're not okay with this, contact the district's Head of Nutrition Services (Sebasthian Varas) to let him know - sebasthian.varas@canyonsdistrict.org or 801-826-5381. And please share this with other Canyon's District families.

Volunteers
Canyons School District has procedures in place to adhere to Utah law requiring districts to screen prospective volunteers. A volunteer is anyone who works directly either individually or in small groups with students under supervision of a District employee or a chaperone of a school sponsored field trip. There is a form to fill out, which must be done annually so if you did it last year you'll need to do it again (and already know how easy it was :)
You can go to http://www.canyonsdistrict.org/ then the community tab and choose "volunteers" and click on "complete volunteer application", fill it out, and then click submit.
this link should also take you directly to the form:

Important information for career and technical classes
Sorry for the lengthy post, please read in its entirety. The district is proposing pulling some classes from the junior and high schools and your comments are essential.
Please see below for how to make your voice heard on this matter!
I found out during the last PTA meeting at Canyonview Elementary that the district has a board meeting every first and third Tuesday of each month. Generally during the first meeting of the month they have a business meeting and the second meeting of the month is a study session with a very short business meeting in which they approve the agenda items but don’t take public comment - but they are making an exception for the Feb 16th meeting.
During the school boards last meeting on Feb 1st a proposal was brought up to remove career and technical education type classes (CTE) from middle and high schools so that there could be more focus on other areas. Some of the classes that are under consideration for removal are home economics, cosmetology, auto mechanics, wood shop, and metal shop.
The district posts the meeting minutes once they have been approved on their website.
You can view the minutes from that meeting here:

From those meeting minutes you can also link to the power point presentation given during the meeting by clicking on the blue highlighted words: potential options or follow this link:

Page three of the power point outlines the three options being considered. Option A, removal of all CTE classes from schools, Option B would retain the status quo for these types of classes, and Option C would have limited CTE classes.
The district is allowing for a comment period regarding this proposal until their next board meeting on Tuesday February 15th. Although this is the second monthly meeting it will be open for public comments. If you would like to comment, you must show up prior to the 7:30 start time and sign up to give comments. Individuals are allowed 3 minutes. If you are speaking for a group, you are allowed 6 minutes and must elect a spokesperson.
You can also send comments to communictions@canyonsdistrict.org
Or to the superintendent David Doty at David.doty@canyonsdistrict.org
Or call the district at 801-826-5000
