Be a Wolverine for a Day!

Shadow days are designed for eighth-grade students who are new to our community and considering becoming a Chaparral Wolverine next year. Shadow Days provide an opportunity to experience the variety of academics and activities that we offer. Students in our feeder schools or those who are familiar with our school should plan on attending the Chaparral Showcase on November 4, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. instead of a shadow day. The shadow day visit is a full seven period day which allows students to see as many classes as possible. Each shadowing student will follow a Chaparral student throughout the day and enjoy a lunch provided by the school. The day starts at 7:45 a.m. in the main hall and is completed at 2:30 p.m. Spaces for this opportunity are extremely limited. If your eighth-grade student is interested in participating, please register here .
