Dear Canyon View Families,
The slight chill in the air each morning indicates that the fall season is upon us. For the students, staff, and families at Canyon View this time of the year signifies the beginning of many of our academic clubs and intervention offerings. We are pleased to announce that we’ll be offering the following academic enrichment opportunities this year for our students: Geography Bee, Spelling Bee, Book Club, STEAM Club, Miler’s Club, Choir, Steel Drum, Robotics, and Khan Academy. At Canyon View, we firmly believe in developing the well-rounded child, and we are committed to providing opportunities and programs that support this philosophy and promote deep learning.
Canyon View is also deeply committed to providing researched-based interventions for those students who need additional support. In addition to the individualized instruction provided by the classroom teachers, Imagine Learning will once again be a Tier 2 intervention that is used at Canyon View. Imagine Learning is a language and reading software that includes instruction in the five essential reading components: phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. It also has the ability to differentiate students' instruction by conducting an initial placement test to delineate a starting point for each student, regulate and sequence student instruction based on student responses, and provide informative feedback tailored to student responses. Finally, language support is provided for students who need it and the support is gradually withdrawn as students progress toward language proficiency. Imagine Learning invitations will be sent out to specific students next week. If your child receives an invitation and you would like additional information regarding the program, please do not hesitate to contact the front office at 209-7700.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Rob Henikman
Principal
