The safety of our students during dismissal is a shared responsibility. Please help us keep the parent pick-up line safe and efficient by following these expectations:

• Pull all the way forward before stopping to pick up your child. Please do not stop early or leave large gaps between vehicles.
• Students should enter vehicles from the curb/passenger side only. Students should never walk into or enter a vehicle from the passing lane.
• Remain in your vehicle while in the pick-up line. Please do not open trunks, load or unload items, or complete other tasks that require you to exit your vehicle.
• Do not use cell phones while driving through the pick-up area. Your full attention is essential with students and vehicles moving throughout the area.
• Never drive around the line or use the outer/passing lane to pick up a student.
• If your child needs additional time or assistance to safely enter the vehicle—including assistance with car seats, belongings, or other needs—please park and meet your child rather than using the car line.

Please remember that vehicles should load only in the designated loading area between the posted signs. These procedures are in place to protect all students, not simply to keep the line moving.

With the increasing popularity of e-bikes and electric dirt bikes among students, we want to remind families to make sure they understand the laws that apply before allowing a student to ride to school.

According to the City of Phoenix:

• E-bike riders must be at least 16 years old.
• E-bikes may not be ridden on sidewalks.
• A legal e-bike has fully operable pedals and an electric motor that meets Arizona's e-bike requirements.
• Electric dirt bikes and similar vehicles without operable pedals may not qualify as e-bikes. Depending on the vehicle, they may instead be considered motor-driven cycles and be subject to motorcycle requirements, including a driver's license/motorcycle endorsement, registration and insurance.
• Riders under 18 operating motorcycles/motor-driven cycles are required to wear a helmet.

Many electric bikes and dirt bikes look similar but fall under very different laws. Please check the specifications and legal classification of your child's vehicle before allowing them to ride it to school or on public streets.

Our 5th and 6th grade Battle of the Books readers are off to a great start! Students are busy reading, preparing, and getting ready to put their book knowledge to the test.

Battle #1: October 7

Congratulations to our newest National Elementary Honor Society (NEHS) and National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) members! Our induction ceremony took place at the end of August, and we are excited to welcome so many outstanding scholars and philanthropists into these organizations for the new school year.

Throughout the year, our NEHS and NJHS students will put leadership and service into action by working closely with Youth for Troops here in Anthem and the Foothills Food Bank to support our local community.

September is Attendance Awareness Month, and Canyon Springs is celebrating with a schoolwide attendance challenge—“Attendance Scoop There It Is!”—beginning the week of September 7!

Our Wolves will work together as a class to earn scoops for great attendance:

🍦 Earn a Scoop: Classes earn a scoop for each day of perfect attendance.
🍦🍦 Double Scoop Days: Special days will give classes the chance to earn two scoops!
❓ Surprise Scoop Days: Watch for surprise opportunities to earn an extra scoop.
🎉 Fun Rewards: Classes with 3+ days of perfect attendance could earn a special surprise activity!

Families can help by making on-time, daily attendance a priority whenever students are healthy and able to attend. Every school day matters, and every Wolf contributes to their classroom community.

Show up. Be here. Be proud. Be a Wolf!
