Dear
Canyon View Families,
The
first three full weeks of school are in the books and the students and staff at
Canyon View Elementary are starting to settle into our routines. I want to thank all of our families who
attended our Curriculum Nights this week and we hope the evenings were
informative and you were able to learn about your child’s day here at
school. As mentioned during our
Curriculum Nights, we will continue to work hard to keep the lines of communication
open with our families. We fully understand
how important it is to build and maintain a strong school-home partnership and
we appreciate your support!
As
we continue our roll out of the new CFSD Strategic Plan, Envision21: Deep Learning we will focus on specific aspects of the
plan to give our families a better understanding of the direction we are headed
as a district and as a school.
This week, we have included our revised CFSD mission and vision
statements and our shared core values.
At the school level, we have started the second phase of the branding
process for our school. Clearly
defining the unique selling points and core values for our school is an
important step in this process. When
we have completed our work, we will want every adult and child associated with
our learning organization to know exactly what Canyon View Elementary stands
for.
