Dear
Canyon View Families,
As
we charge into the middle of September, many of our academic clubs and
intervention, extension and enrichment offerings will be starting around campus. This year, we are pleased to announce that
we’ll again be offering the following academic enrichment opportunities for our
students: Student Advisory Board (SAB), Spelling Bee, Book Club, STEAM Club,
Miler’s Club, Choir, Steel Drum, Orchestra, Robotics, and Khan Academy (1-5
grades). 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. English language
support is also provided for students who need it and the support is gradually
withdrawn as students progress toward language proficiency.
Imagine Learning invitations
were sent out to select students this week.
If your child received an invitation and you would like additional
information regarding the program, please do not hesitate to contact the front
office at 209-7700.
Finally, below are just a few
images from our first STEAM Club which took place two weeks ago. These images help to capture the type of learning
experiences we are creating for our students.
STEAM Club is run entirely by parent volunteers, and it’s a fun and
energizing way to get involved with our school.
If you are interested in helping out, please contact our FFO president,
Renee Griffith: reneegriffith@me.com. Our next STEAM Club will be held on Wednesday, September 27th at 11:35AM and 3:05PM. We hope to see you there!
Have
a wonderful weekend,
Rob
