Canyons School District is now accepting “Utah Fits All” Scholarships from students in the sixth through 12th grades who are interested in taking advantage of the District’s menu of core classes, electives, and extracurricular activities. CSD schools — with their championship sports teams and award-winning arts, science and technology programs — have long been a resource for privately and homeschooled students who are looking to enrich their learning.

Taking advantage of Utah Fits All enrollment opportunities in Canyons is easy:
Enrollment is granted for individual classes if space is available. Contact the counseling office at your CSD school of choice to see what courses still have openings. If your first choice of school doesn’t have openings for a particular class, contact CSD’s Admissions Office for assistance in finding a comparable course at another CSD school. The Admissions Office can be reached at 801-826-5031.
Per state law, there are limits to the number of courses UFA scholarship students can take through a public school any given year before reaching full-time status. If a voucher student enrolls in the equivalent of 50 percent of a school’s schedule, they will forfeit their scholarship. The 50 percent threshold varies based on the school and the school’s schedule. At a school where there are five class periods in a day, Utah Fits All students can take up to two courses. At a school with eight periods in the day, scholarships can be used to enroll in up to three courses. For more information, contact the counseling office at your school of choice.
All courses offered in Canyons District middle and high schools are listed in the District’s course catalogs. While everything listed in these catalogs is taught in at least one CSD school, you’ll need to call the counseling office at your school of choice to see what they are currently offering. All of CSD’s traditional high schools have Utah High School Activities Association-sanctioned sports and activities. You can find the full list on UHSAA’s website.
Per Utah State Board of Education rules, concurrent enrollment classes are not open to UFA Scholarship holders. To take advantage of concurrent enrollment courses, through which students earn college credit, students must be enrolled in a public school.
Privately-schooled students are eligible to participate in Utah High School Activities Association-sanctioned sports and activities at any high school as long it’s their first year of entry and the sport isn’t offered at their private school. Homeschooled students are also eligible to participate at any school their first year of entry. For UHSAA’s eligibility guidelines, see their 2024-2025 Handbook. Some sports and activities require tryouts and some are connected to an actual class period, in which case the student will have to 1) pay to enroll in the course, 2) cover the entry fee, and 3) pay any associated fees (for uniforms, equipment, etc.).
Once a family receives Utah Fits All Scholarship, or voucher, funding, they are no longer eligible to dual enroll in a school. This is because dual enrollees are funded through the state’s Weighted Pupil Unit (WPU), the state funding formula for public education. If a scholarship holder were to draw on the WPU while also receiving voucher funding, that would amount to a double-dipping of taxpayer funds. Canyons has purposely kept the admission fee and other participation fees (for jerseys, uniforms, equipment, etc.) affordable so voucher students can easily afford to enroll in some classes and participate in sports, the arts, and other activities.
Confirmation of enrollment will come through your school of choice. Payments can be made through the Class Wallet app.
Based on demand and other factors, Canyons may consider at a future date opening elementary schools to Utah Fits All Scholarship holders. For now, enrollment is restricted to those elementary students who were already dual enrolled in a Canyons District school during the 2023-2024 school year.
UFA students are not eligible for the federally subsidized school lunch program. If a UFA student chooses to eat in a school cafeteria the cost is $3.00 for breakfast and $5.00 for lunch and must be paid through Skyward.
Canyons District does not receive state funding to provide daily transportation services to UFA students. Transportation related to extra-curricular activities, sports, or course related field trips, however, will be provided.
UFA students are not eligible to receive 504 accommodations or Individualized Education Plans (special education services). However, parents may request to have their student evaluated for accommodations and services free of charge. They can also enroll full-time in a Canyons District school at any time, which would make them eligible for accommodations and services.

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!
