Arena Scheduling
Attention all students. Arena scheduling will open for Next Year’s schedule changes on May 19, 2026, at 8 am. Counselors WILL NOT be making schedule changes in May for your classes, so now is the chance to make those non-essential changes to your schedule. Arena will close on May 25, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Information on how to work arena scheduling is on the HHS Counseling Website. Make those changes and don’t wait!
ACT Updates
ACT ALERT!! IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM ACT!!!
Based on its continual evaluation of scores, ACT has informed us that it needs to reissue scores for students who took the ACT online during the school day this spring. If you are among those students, your current score will be removed from your MyACT account on Wednesday, May 13. When scores are available again (no later than June 2), your Composite score and section scores will remain the same OR go up slightly based on your individual performance. Your scores will NOT be lower than what was previously released. There is no action you need to take. ACT will post revised scores on MyACT and will be resending scores to your school. If you previously opted to send scores via ACT to a college, university, or scholarship-awarding organization, they, too, will be sent any updated scores.
Library Corner
As we wrap up the school year, the HHS Library would like to share a few important return dates.
Earlier this week, parents received an email listing any textbooks, library books, ELA novels, and senior Chromebooks currently checked out to their students. Students also received a copy during 5th period. These items are not due yet; the notice was sent to help families locate materials before check-in.
Return Dates
- May 20–21: Senior Chromebooks and chargers due
Any items not returned by the end of the school day on Friday, May 22, will be added as a fee in Skyward.
If you have questions or notice any discrepancies, please contact the HHS Library at (801) 826-6050 or email jenny.olsen@canyonsdistrict.org.
