Dear Canyon View Families,
Parent-teacher conferences are coming up next week. We will be on a half-day schedule from Monday, October 12th through Wednesday, October 14th. Kindergarten Plus through 5th grade will be dismissed at 11:30 a.m. while regular Kindergarten will be dismissed at 9:30 a.m. Lunch will not be served during these three days. There will be no school on October 15-16 due to Fall Break.
Our teachers view conference week as an important time of the year to help strengthen the home-school partnership that is needed to support our students’ academic, social and emotional needs. These conferences are designed to promote two-way communication between school and home in order to optimize each student’s educational experience. We are looking forward to having you on campus to discuss your child’s progress.
Today, our school practiced one of our scheduled lockdown drills. Ensuring a safe learning environment is our top priority, and these drills are intended to help prepare our staff and students in the event of an emergency situation. As with all of our emergency drills, we will collect and analyze procedural information, and we will use this important information to ensure that our Emergency Response Plan is implemented effectively and efficiently.
Finally, this morning we held our first Spirit Assembly in the MPR. These school-wide assemblies are a fun and rewarding experience for our students and staff. The entire Canyon View staff understands the importance of recognizing and celebrating our students’ achievements, and our Spirit Assemblies are the perfect venue to do so. During today’s assembly, we enjoyed a performance from our 4th/5th grade choir, we celebrated our students who are attending Imagine Learning and Khan Academy before and after school, promoted our school-wide goal of developing a growth mindset, and we recognized several individual students, and a homeroom class, who have gone above and beyond in demonstrating the Six Pillars of Character. We would love to see as many of our parents as possible attend our next Spirit Assembly on Friday, December 18. If you can make it, we promise it will be worth your time!
Have a wonderful and safe Fall Break!
Sincerely,
Rob Henikman
