Dear Coyote Families,

We’ve had another wonderful week at Canyon View Elementary! On Monday, our campus was transformed into a 19th-century frontier camp as the Julian Gold Mining Company visited our Fourth Graders. Students dove into pioneer life, from mining for gold and scrubbing laundry on washboards to testing their aim with cowboy boot and hat tosses. The excitement continued on Monday as our Fifth Graders kicked off their Line-Dancing PE unit, guided by wonderful local senior volunteers in the MPR. Thursday was another fantastic PUSD VAPA Day, where students explored visual art concepts like patterns and tessellations. To top it all off, our Kindergarteners dazzled their families with a beautiful Choral Music Performance led by Mrs. Serrano.

Important Update: Jog-A-Thon Rescheduled

As you know, we postponed our Jog-A-Thon due to this week’s record-breaking heat wave. Our new date is Wednesday, April 1st. This gives us a little more time to reach our goals! As our Foundation’s biggest fundraiser, we truly depend on your support to keep our most cherished programs running. Please consider donating to support the Foundation Jog-A-Thon. Your pledges directly fund:

• Art with Mrs. Dawson

• Choral Music with Mrs. Serrano

• Computer Science with Mrs. Dawson

• Science Lab with Mrs. Cortez

• PE with Coach Chase

• Impact with Mrs. Kiehl

• ...and so much more!

Thank you for your ongoing support of our students and staff.

Let’s make it a great week!

Warmly,

Erica Edmonston

Principal, Canyon View Elementary School

Due to the heat advisory this week our annual JOG-A-THON Bubble Run has been rescheduled to WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1st. Click Here for the new schedule:

We need VOLUNTEERS to sign up again to ensure you are still available to help. If you weren't already signed up and this new date now works for you, we have plenty of opportunities to get involved. You can volunteer all day or even just during your child's scheduled run time. Please visit our new sign up at bit.ly/NEWVOLUNTEERSIGNUP26 .

Have your child wear their CLASS COLOR on April 1st to show team spirit and help teachers easily locate their students at the end of the run to officially tally their lap count.

There is more time to fundraise! With a school wide goal of $45,000, KEEP SHARING THIS FUNDRAISER with family, friends, neighbors and co-workers! Donations can be made online at bit.ly/cvesjogathon2026 , or via cash or check payable to Canyon View Foundation.

This enrollment window is for students currently enrolled in Poway Unified schools in grades TK-11. A digital registration packet must be completed for ALL currently enrolled students, whether your child(ren) are returning or leaving the district next school year.

If your family is not returning to PUSD for the 2026-2027 school year, please complete the online packet for your child(ren) to let us know. We’ve simplified the process this year: once you select the "No, we are not planning to return next year" option, the form will automatically skip to the end for a quick submission. It only takes a moment and greatly helps us with our planning for the upcoming school year.

Completing the Continuing Student Registration process will allow for proper placement of your child(ren) for the 2026-2027 school year as well as appropriate release procedures for those who will not be returning. For full instructions on this process, visit the Continuing Registration webpage.

The Special Education Parent Ambassadors will host a Knowledge & Network presentation titled “Turning Challenges into Strengths: A Journey with a Learning Disability” on Tuesday, March 24, from 6:30–8:00 p.m. Families may attend in person at the District Office Community Room (15250 Avenue of Science, San Diego, CA 92128) or via Zoom.

During this session, a guest speaker will share his personal journey growing up with a learning disability, reflecting on the challenges he faced, how he learned to overcome them, and how he ultimately discovered his own path to success. His story offers a relatable and inspiring perspective for both parents and individuals with disabilities, emphasizing resilience, self-acceptance, and hope.

The presentation aims to provide encouragement and insight for families navigating learning differences and disabilities, highlighting how challenges can become strengths with the right support, mindset, and determination. Families attending in person will receive a complimentary copy of the speaker’s book while supplies last.

Please RSVP here. See this flyer to learn more about the guest speaker.

Springtime brings longer days, warmer weather and the promise of another season of baseball and softball. For readers and fans of all ages, it’s a great time to share stories of the love of the game! Catching the Moon (based on the life of Toni Stone) tells the true story of the first woman to play professional baseball. Marcenia Lyle loved baseball. Those 4 words introduce us to a young girl who thought there wasn’t anything better than baseball. In 1930 St. Louis, Marcenia played baseball with all the boys at school and earned their respect as an athlete. But at that time, not everyone believed that girls should be allowed a place on the field. Despite the obstacles, Marcenia commits herself to proving that she can play and making her baseball dreams come true.

We love our volunteers! To get started, complete the Level 1 Volunteer Application for Canyon View Elementary at bit.ly/CVESVolunteer or click here (includes TB clearance and Megan’s Law check).

Some roles—like coaching, robotics, or working with students unsupervised—require Level 2 clearance. To obtain or renew Level 2 status, complete the Level 1 steps first, then request a Level 2 form from our office and complete fingerprinting at the PUSD District Office.

If you are visiting campus for a short time—such as attending an assembly, performance, class party or meeting—you do not need to register as a volunteer; simply check in at the front office as a visitor. Classroom visitors need to be scheduled in advance with both the office and the classroom teacher.
