Principal's Message 11/4/16

Dear Canyon View Families,

October was a very exciting month for us at Canyon View and now it’s on to the second trimester!  We want to thank everyone for attending our annual Canyon Boo celebration and making this special event such an enjoyable experience for our children.  The costume parade on the 31st was another fun event for our students, and it was rewarding to see all of the teachers and parents having just as much fun as our children!  We also want to thank all of our students and parents for supporting this week’s Book Fair.  Students’ excitement for reading was contagious around campus, and we want to thank all of our committed volunteers who helped out!

On Friday, November 18th, parents will be able to view their child’s report card by logging into their ParentVUE account and clicking the Report Card section along the left side of their child’s homepage.  There are video tutorials on Canyon View'sYoutube Channel for your convenience to help you better understand your ParentVUE account.  You can access these video tutorials by visiting the new Canyon View homepage: http://cves.cfsd16.org/.  Parents must have an active ParentVUE account in order to view/print their child’s report card.  If you have any questions regarding your child’s report card or need assistance with ParentVUE, please do not hesitate to contact the front office.

Next, as mentioned in an email blast last week we want to ensure that parent-teacher conferences are meeting the needs of everyone involved.  We are asking our parents to please give us their feedback by completing a short survey.  As in years past, the information collected will be analyzed and used to improve our future parent-teacher conferences.  The anonymous survey will close on Sunday, November 6th at 12:00PM. Currently we have only 58 surveys submitted.  We sincerely appreciate and value your feedback!  



Believe it or not, we are already preparing for next year.  The open enrollment window opened on November 1st and closes on January 31st, 2017.  The online open enrollment application is accessible on the district website, www.cfsd16.org, or by clicking here.  All open enrollment students need to apply for admission each year, so please do not wait.  School registration for next year will begin on December 5 for our neighborhood students. In-district parents and guardians will receive a link to register via the email listed on file for each student.

Finally, we are pleased to announce that under the leadership of our Student Advisory Board (SAB), Canyon View will once again participate in the Adopt-A-Family Project.  Last year, our school community positively influenced the lives of over 170 people during the holiday season.  We are deeply committed to this project, and we are looking forward to helping those in need.  Additional information will be sent out to our families in two weeks.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Rob Henikman
