Apply today! Registration Continues for Canyons Online

Log on to register.  Log on to learn.

Registration continues for Canyons Online, Canyons District’s powerful new online learning program. 

Starting in fall 2021, Canyons Online will be the program through which high-quality online classes will be provided to kindergarten through 12th-grade CSD students. Licensed teachers with advanced training in the best digital teaching and learning practices will lead classes in core subjects.  

The application process will remain open until enrollment reaches capacity.  If the program reaches capacity, applicants will be placed on a wait list.

Kindergarten through eighth-grade students can apply for fall 2021 right now on the Canyons Online website, https://canyonsonline.canyonsdistrict.org/.

Students in ninth- through 12th grades can register for online learning for Summer Block No. 2 through July 30.  In August, high school-age students can begin enrolling for fall online classes.

“Canyons Online will really offer us the opportunity to act on Canyons District’s principle of innovation,” said Canyons Superintendent Dr. Rick Robins. “Families will have more choice and flexibility in customizing what is best for their students.” 

Lessons learned during the era of COVID-19 about the delivery of online instruction informed the development of Canyons Online, which will replace the Canyons Virtual High School. “We are moving away from a COVID-19 response and moving toward a service model,” Robins said.  “This is thinking much differently about how we provide flexible, online learning for students.”  

Via Canyons Online, elementary- and middle school-age students will be able to move through grade-level learning at their own pace and on their own time. High school students enrolled in Canyons Online can take the online classes for credit, both original and recovery, toward high school graduation. They also can learn at their own pace and place, says Michelle Shimmin, Canyons Online Administrator. 

The limited-space program is for the self-driven and organized learner who, for health, family or personal reasons, seeks an educational experience away from the traditional brick-and-mortar classroom. The students’ educational activities will demonstrate and test their competency.   

“This is really at the heart of what personalized learning can be. I think that, coming out of the pandemic, one of the things we have learned is that in-person instruction for the vast majority of our students is a priority,” Robins said. “However, with that, we have also learned that there are many students who thrive in an online environment. For us to be more responsive to their needs, there is a space and place for a blended model.”  

Shimmin recently appeared on ABC4’s “Good Morning, Utah to discuss how the program allows students to make and maintain connections with their neighborhood schools.

Canyons Online elementary-age students will be able to participate in before- and after-school music programs, science fair, and debate. Middle schoolers enrolled in Canyons Online can take electives at the local school, plus compete in science fairs and debate. Canyons Online high schools will be allowed to dual enroll so they can have full access to high school programs.

Lucie Chamberlain

Alta View Elementary

If a movie about super teachers were ever made, Lucie Chamberlain would be a prime candidate for a leading role. Fortunately for her kindergarten students at Alta View Elementary, she already thrives in a supporting role for them. Parents thank her for being a “super teacher.” She is also described as an “amazing colleague.” Whether students need help in the classroom or from home while sick, Lucie goes above and beyond to help them learn, overcome fears, and feel important and cared for. Lucie is the reason a number of kids went from hating school to loving it, according to parents. The way she exudes patience, sweetness, positive energy, and love for her students with special needs melts is appreciated and admired. One parent noted: “Both my kids wish she could be their teacher forever.” Another added:  “She treats every student like their learning and their feelings are her priority.” Super teacher, indeed!
