A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL Welcome to Sycamore Canyon School. It takes three ingredients to make a successful school. Sycamore Canyon has a skilled, talented, and dedicated teaching staff as the first ingredient. The staff is committed to providing ALL students with a positive and productive learning environment. The parents are next – they contribute to the formal education of the student by supporting the teachers and the total school program. The third and best ingredient is the child. His or her conduct at school helps to create an environment where learning can take place. The ABC’s of Sycamore Canyon Pride is designed to communicate school standards and expectations.
