Dear
Canyon View Families,
Conference
week is behind us and I hope that your conversations with your children’s
teachers were informative. Each year, conference
week is a valuable time for us as it is a way to coordinate our collective
efforts to help educate our children and support the work that is taking place
at school and at home. As we all can
agree, learning doesn’t stop when our children leave school, and we are
committed to strengthening the school-home partnership.
In
an effort to ensure that parent-teacher conferences are meeting the needs of
everyone involved, we will be asking our parents to 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. This survey
will be sent out next week, and we would appreciate it if you could take a few
minutes to share your thoughts. Please
be on the lookout for the survey email.
On Friday,
October 27th Canyon View will be hosting our annual Canyon Boo
celebration! This long-standing
tradition kicks off at 6:00 p.m. and includes several fun and engaging
activities ranging from trick-or-treating (6-8 p.m.), the Scholastic Book Fair, steel drum performances, and
interactive science experiments. Each year, we rely on our families to help
support the event through their donations of decorations, candy, and/or
volunteering their time decorating the pods, cleaning up, or by working one of
the candy stations. There are a variety
of ways you can support Canyon Boo, please click the links below and sign-up:
On
Tuesday, October 31st we will be having our annual Halloween Parade
out on the North Field. We will be
starting the festivities promptly after morning announcements and students who
are planning on dressing up should arrive at school dressed in their
costumes. When selecting a costume for
your child/children, please be sure that it is appropriate for school. Children are not permitted to wear face
paint, bring dangerous items, or items that represent weapons or could be used
in a way that could cause injury to other participants. After
our parade has concluded, all students will be expected to change back into
their regular school attire. We
appreciate your support!
Finally,
below are just a few images that capture the variety of learning experiences
our students have been engaged in over the past two weeks. The entire staff at Canyon View Elementary is
deeply committed to the whole-child approach to educating our students, and we
are routinely researching and exploring new ways to refine and improve our
practice.
