Saturday, Oct. 27, 11 a.m.-noon
Hillcrest High School, AT200, 7350 S. 900 East

Parents and students are welcome to attend any meeting, regardless of where the children attend school.
 
The meetings are being held now to help parents and students become more informed about academic offerings as Canyons prepares for a districtwide grade reconfiguration. In 2013-2014, ninth-graders will move into the high schools, middle schools will be for sixth- through eighth-grade students, and elementary schools will house kindergarten through fifth grades.
 
To plan for this shift, and to ensure proper staffing levels at each school, permit applications to attend school outside neighborhood-school boundaries must be submitted before Nov. 1, 2012. The Standard Open Enrollment Applications can be accessed on the Web site.
 
Questions? Please contact Hillcrest’s IB office at 801-826-6018 from 7 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday through Friday.
