Dear Parents and Guardians,As your child begins the exciting journey from 8th grade to 9th grade, we know this time is filled with both anticipation and questions. The move to high school is an important milestone, a season of growth, discovery, and new opportunities. To help keep you informed and make the transition smoother, I have created a Canva presentation that outlines the timeline of key events, dates, and opportunities throughout this year. This presentation will cover important steps such as course selection, parent nights, testing dates, and high school orientation activities.I will continue to update the presentation each month so that you always have the latest information at your fingertips. This way, you won’t miss any important deadlines or opportunities as your child prepares for high school.Thank you for partnering with us during this special season. Together, we’ll help your students grow, thrive, and be ready to bloom in their new high school environment. Canva Website linkDownloadable PDF Thank you,Arti Pant8th Grade CounselorCanyon Vista Middle School

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We want to let you know about a change to our testing program. Beginning this school year, our district will no longer administer the PSAT 8/9 to 8th-grade students.

This decision was made in response to proposed changes in state accountability standards. To best support our students, we are redirecting resources to ensure our high school students meet these new requirements.

Please know that our high schools will continue to use other data sources to help place incoming 9th graders in advanced and AP courses.
