On Monday, August 10, Freshmen only will begin at 7:45am. All other students will arrive later for the first period that begins at 12:08. Buses will run at the normal time and again exactly four hours later.
10th-12th graders new to Chaparral are invited to be dropped off at 11am for a pizza lunch in J600. New students will have the opportunity to connect with current students and learn more about Chaparral High School! Please RSVP to Assistant Principal Megan Bird via email, along with your student's name and grade level.
The regular bell schedules can be found on our website.

Parent Pickup/DropoffPlease encourage your students to use district-provided transportation as much as possible. This will greatly reduce the amount of traffic on the surrounding streets before and after school. If students must be dropped off or picked up, use the main dropoff/pickup lane on the east side of campus, entering from 70th street just south of Gold Dust Ave.

ParentSquare is our main communication tool for students and parents. When the school or teachers send out information, that is the platform that will be used. Most importantly, all field trip permission slips are housed in ParentSquare. “Posts” from staff members will come as emails for people without the app, but Parents and students who download and use the smartphone app (ParentSquare or StudentSquare) get access to additional text message alerts and can view messages from staff within the app. Download it now!
Please also follow us on social media by searching chaparralhighschoolsusd on Instagram. Mrs. Bird does a wonderful job showcasing all the cool things that are going on at school, so don’t miss out!

There are a very limited number of reasons that qualify for a schedule correction. They include:
Schedule change requests are not approved for teacher changes, period changes, or elective changes as our staffing has been set for the year.
If your situation matches one of the above, please complete the form linked here and a guidance counselor will reach out via email or phone. Completing the form doesn't guarantee a conversation due to the volume of requests. You will only be contacted if your situation warrants a change of if we need more information.

school and district Communications
As messages are sent to parent email addresses by Chaparral or SUSD Administrative staff, we'll compile them here.
School Supplies
There is no set school supply list for students. During the first week of school, teachers will distribute a class syllabus and let students know what, if any, special supplies are required. Generally speaking, most students will need folders for each class; plenty of looseleaf paper; several college-ruled composition books; red, blue, and black pens; pencils and erasers; and a few colors of highlighters.
Student Schedules
First Day
The first day of school for students is Monday, August 10.
Back to school night
Watch for communications from the Chaparral administration with information about this year's Back to School Night.
student fees
Parents can pay online for class fees, textbooks, art supplies, activity cards, PE uniforms and lockers, and Chaparral yearbooks. Fees are usually available for payment starting in late July.
To find out if your student has outstanding fees at the bookstore follow these instructions:

transportation, drop-off, and parkinG
Bus Routes
Bus routes can be accessed through the SUSD Transportation Department website. Please contact the SUSD Transportation Department at 480-484-8550 with any questions or visit their website for more information.
Drop-Off and Pick-Up
For student drop-off and pick-up, enter the East Parking Lot off 70th street near the nurse's office and administration building. The Auditorium Parking Lot on Gold Dust avenue is for buses only. When dropping off your student, please use the right-hand lane. All cars must turn right, heading south, when exiting the parking lot. Left turns are not permitted during drop-off and pick-up times. Please see this map for more details. We encourage you to arrive early or drop off your student farther from school to avoid the crowds. Please do not park in any student parking spots, even if they appear to be available.
Parking
Seniors were given the opportunity to purchase parking passes in May and would have received email confirmation of their purchase before the end of the school year. Watch for more information from the school about parking pass pick-up for seniors. It's usually in late July.
Students who park off campus should be sure they're parking in permissible areas. The visitor lot (in front of the nurse's office), the teacher lot (in front of the auditorium), and Barton House are not available for student parking.
All student parking spots have been assigned to students who have registered and paid for parking. Students and parents may not park in any spot other than that assigned to them. Many seniors have late-start schedules, so spots may appear to be available, but they are not.
School Lunches
Lunch menus are posted here. Students can purchase lunch or snacks using their ID. Funds can be added to student accounts using LinqConnect (formerly Titan School Solutions). For more information about pricing and menus, visit SUSD's Nutrition Services site.
Chaparral is a closed campus; students may not have lunches delivered by restaurants or through services like DoorDash or UberEats.
Applications for free and reduced meals must be submitted annually, even if approved the previous year.
To apply, submit your Free and Reduced Meal Applications online. Once there, click "Apply for Meals Today" or "Solicitar Comidas Hoy" located on the right side of the page.
2026-27 ATHLETICS REGISTRATION
Athletics will begin in early August and SUSD will continue to use Register My Athlete. In order to participate in high school or middle school Athletics, there are specific requirements your student will need to meet and that you will need to upload to Register My Athlete.
All high school athletes must complete the NFHS Concussion in Sports course and Opioid Awareness course once during their high school career. Incoming 9th graders wanting to take part in SUSD athletics while in 9th grade must complete both courses before they are allowed to participate. Click here for those courses.
