F irst days confusing It was y. ' jo a.m., Sept. 8, the start of a new year for a new school. Those who were familiar with Aiessandro Middle School found It was easy to find their classes at Canyon Springs, since the 1986-87 school year was to take place at the former middle school campus. Some students, however, were not so lucky; they came from Buttcrfield Middle School, from Moreno Valley High School, or were new to the Moreno Valley community. The day was very hectic, said Jason Baker. I thought I was go- ing to die the first day. For some freshmen, the day was slow and scary. In eighth grade they had heard of Freshman Fri- day. I was scared, Anthony Walsh said. I thought I was going to get picked on.

I ' m looking forward to foot- ball, Floyd Gaines said. Most staff members had been able to set up for their classes dur- ing late summer. Others were hired a few days before the first semester began. The early work of two helped reduce opening day confusion. Mr. Don Hagen, principal, and Mrs. Joan Bussey, school secretary, had started preliminary work the year before, when Canyon Springs was a room at the district office. , Ensign-

c ampus sweep cuts tardies Campus sweeps were one way Canyon Springs tried to com- bat tardiness. The program was started by the Attendance Review Committee. Each sweep day, Mr. Jon Gaffney, assistant principal, worked with the campus supervi- sors to gather all students who were not in their classes or did not have passes. Gaffney took them to a spjecific area, either the cafeteria or the lunch tables. There, the students were re- quired to write one-page essays on why it was important to be on time. The students stayed in the area the entire class period and were marked tardy from classes. Students who were tardy a sec- ond time had to write a second essay. Students caught three times faced a two-hour Campus Service Program detention, working on school grounds at the end of the Laseanda Mial Jeremy Lachapelle Peter Langtry Tina Lawton Terry Lay Ricardo Lebron Chris Lee Jason Lee Joshua Lee Matt Legerton Anjanelle Leiter Joshua Lewis Michelle Likens Samantha Little Andrea Lof ez Cynthia Lopez Veronica Lopez Gerald Lovett Mathcw Lowe Lea Lowry Kelli Lundgren Katrina Lusk Sean Machachi Teri Maciboba Stephanie Madrigal According to Gaffney, the pro- gram helped make students aware of the seriousness of tardy behav- ior. All students were aware that sweeps could occur at any time, and they hustled to class as thc should, Gaffney said. The first sweep netted 45 students, with averages that day of 20 out of class per period. Later sweeps averaged between three and ten tardies per period. The intent of the program was not to punish or ' bust ' kids, Gaff- ney added. It was intended to get students to be aware of basic re- sponsibilities that will follow them through life. THE MAIN force behind campus sweeps, Mr. Jon Gaffney.
