Please note that in some years, students have come to campus before the first day of school to pick up textbooks or pay fees. This year all registration will be done online and students will be taken to the bookstore by teachers during the first few days of school to pick up textbooks. The campus will be open from 8:00 am – 12:00 pm on August 1st and 2nd if parents and students would like to walk through student schedules, however. Maps will be available to help explore the campus.
Summer reading
Students in 9th and 10th grade Honors-level English, AP Lang, or AP Lit have been assigned summer reading. You can see the full list 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 Lockers
Most students choose not to use lockers at Chap, instead just carrying everything they need in their backpacks.
Ninth graders are usually given the opportunity to sign up for an on-campus locker if they'd like to use one, and all PE students will be assigned a locker in the changing room and be given the opportunity to purchase a combination lock.
Annual Student Registration/Data Verification
Registration (Annual Verification) begins on-line July 25th. Annual Verification is a process by which Parents/Guardians confirm certain information about themselves and their student(s) for district records. This is done on-line by clicking here. You'll be asked to confirm or update the following information:
Home Address
Parent Contact Information
Emergency Contacts
Code of Conduct and Information Release
Heath Form
and be given a link to pay any applicable fees.
Student Schedules
Once the annual verification is completed, student schedules will be available to review on ParentVue and StudentVue. The campus will be open from 8:00 am – 12:00 pm on August 1st and 2nd if parents and students would like to walk through student schedules. Maps will be available to help explore the campus.
Counselors will be available in the library the following dates and times for schedule corrections. Please note there will be no teacher changes or period changes and any corrections will be based on availability. Schedule corrections will only be made in-person, not via email.

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 Titan School Solutions. For more information about pricing and menus, visit SUSD's Nutrition Services site.
During the past school year, all students received free lunch. However, for the 2022-2023 school year, families must fill out an application for free or reduced lunch. The program is confidential. The easy online application can be found at: https://bit.ly/3RgvPmX
Chaparral is a closed campus; students may not have lunches delivered by restaurants or through services like DoorDash or UberEats.
