Hey Black Canyon High School families!
Just wanted to let you know that parent-teacher conferences are happening soon on October 7th -10th. Just like every year, we'll bring dinner for your family and have a chat with you and your student. We love meeting you all and building those family-school relationships.
Give our office a call to schedule a home visit. Not comfortable with that? No worries, we'll be here at the school from 12pm to 8pm for conferences. If you need anything, just give our office a ring. We'll have interpreters available, too.

October count

Greetings Black Canyon High School families,

I wanted to emphasize the importance of students attending school during this time of year. Please ensure that your student comes to school regularly and help us encourage them to be present. The October count is crucial for our school, and we will be offering numerous gifts and giveaways to students who attend school consistently. So, please motivate your student to come and have the opportunity to win something special.
