Principal Jensen's Updates
New Safety Requirement:
All visitors to the school building MUST wear a mask or other face covering. Please help us keep everyone healthy and safe by maintaining 6 feet of distance throughout the building. Graduation: We loved seeing everyone who came for cap and gown pick up on Friday – we have missed our students and it was wonderful to celebrate with our outgoing seniors. Though the Canyons District Board of Education has chosen to postpone traditional graduation ceremonies until a later date, Corner Canyon High School is proceeding with a plan to honor our graduates and award diplomas on May 28th, when graduation would have taken place. The Celebration of the Graduates will begin at 8am on May 28th and will run until 1pm, with graduates arriving in groups of 40 every 20 minutes. Prior to arriving at Corner Canyon, graduates will meet at Willow Springs Elementary in order to participate in a vehicle processional down 7th East. Each graduate will be allowed one vehicle and the graduate will sit in the passenger seat, in cap and gown, for the processional. Once the graduate’s vehicle has arrived at Corner Canyon, it will proceed around the school to the front roundabout, where a stage will be set up. At the corner of the roundabout, the graduate will exit the car and proceed to the stage, have his or her name read, cross the stage, and pose for a picture. Any family members in the vehicle must remain in the vehicle to take any pictures. Corner Canyon will be providing a professional picture to every graduate, free of charge. After the graduate has crossed the stage, he or she will proceed into the school to return the gown to Jostens and pick up his or her diploma. The graduate’s vehicle will proceed around the school and pick up the graduate on the north side of the school. The vehicle will then be directed to leave campus so the graduate can celebrate at home with his or her family. The reading of the names and crossing of the stage will be livestreamed, but the entire program will be edited into a video with student speeches, Mr. Jensen’s speech, and the acceptance of the graduates by a board member. This video will be posted for viewing and download after the celebration. We hope all our seniors will participate in the celebration and pick up their diploma on the 28th as planned.

If you or your student are not feeling well, running a fever, or displaying symptoms of illness, please stay home. End of Classwork: May 15th is the last day teachers will be assigning new work or giving tests. Between May 15th and 28th, students will be given the opportunity to submit make up work to improve their grades, but will not be receiving additional work. Some upper division classes, such as Concurrent Enrollment and AP classes, may be completing class projects and preparing for AP exams after May 15th as a class. Locker Pick Up: Thank you to all who came to pick up the items from their lockers. We still have many items that have not been picked up though. Please go to the attendance office between 8am and 2pm to pick up your locker items if you have not already done so. All remaining items will be donated or thrown away on May 29th. Yearbooks: Due printing delays stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, we have not yet received yearbooks for distribution. We have a tentative delivery date of May 22nd, so expect information regarding pick up next week. We will not be mailing yearbooks to students because of the possibility of loss. If you have not already purchased a yearbook, you will not be able to until the day of yearbook pick up. We will have an extremely limited number of copies for sale that day so keep in mind you are not guaranteed a copy. Fees and Fines: All fees and fines have been entered on Skyward and can be paid online. If you are expecting a refund for jewelry fees or the cancelled choir trip and have fees/fines, we will apply the refund towards the fees/fines first. If you have questions regarding fees, please call the front office at (801) 826-6400. Comments are closed.
