Due to a new district policy, the east side doors are not to be used as an entrance. All students, visitors, and deliveries must enter on the west side of the building through the main office doors. The buzzer no longer functions. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Students, as the weather warms up, please be aware that the dress code still applies. Students out of dress code will be asked to attend the Attendance office. They will be given the option to change into a Hillcrest T-shirt (or shorts if applicable), or they may call home for an exchange of clothing. Students will not be permitted to return to class unless they are appropriately dressed.
Open Arena Scheduling
HILLCREST STUDENTS AND PARENTS:
On May 12 at 8:00 am, arena scheduling will open for the 2025 – 2026 school year schedule class changes. It will then close at 11:59 p.m. on May 19, 2025. If you or your student needs to make changes, refer to the directions below:
Arena Schedule Change Directions:
- Log in to Skyward Family and Student access at www.skyward.canyonsdistrict.org
- Click on the “Arena Scheduling” link under the student’s name.
- View your current schedule by clicking the “view/print schedule” link in blue near the top of the page.
- If your schedule looks good, you don’t need to do anything.
- If you would like to make a change, plan which classes to switch before you delete a class.
- To add a class, select “Search Options” then click “Apply Filter” to locate a course by name, period, subject or teacher.
- If there are seats available in the class you want, “Add” will appear. Click “Add” to put the class in your schedule.
- View your updated schedule again by clicking “view/print schedule.” Make sure all 8 periods have a class selected. This means if you have an “add class here” in your schedule, YOU MUST FILL THAT PERIOD WITH A CLASS – DO NOT LEAVE IT BLANK.
- Note—Please be careful when switching classes. It is best to look at the availability first to make sure that is what you want. With almost 2,500 students also changing schedules, you may drop a class and not get it back if your second choice does not work.
