Beginning Wednesday, Sept. 9, Canyon High School will be on assembly bell schedule every Wednesday.

Students will attend mandatory class-specific activities during activity period. Second period teachers will direct individual students to their assigned classrooms. Seniors and juniors will work on college and career preparedness and ACT/SAT prep, respectively. Sophomores will be trained in mental health aid, and freshmen will participate in drug abstinence programs. 

“Wednesday has basically become a new curriculum for our students,” assistant principal Eric Gomez said. “I think this will have really good information. I think this will be really good.”

During the other days of the week, students will only be able to leave their activity period with a pass to prevent sneaking off campus.

“We have a pass system,” Gomez said. “We have a pass for Java City, the vending machine and the learning commons. During activity period, the administrators will be placed in the hallways. All we’re looking for is that students have a pass, so we know where students are going.”
