Catching Up with the Coyotes
January 4, 2026
Dear Coyote Families,
I hope you have all enjoyed a restful Winter Break with plenty of moments to connect and make memories with your children. The Canyon View Team is looking forward to welcoming our students back to campus tomorrow as we kick-off 2026 with so many wonderful things to look forward to!
While the Canyon View Team has been enjoying Winter Break, the PUSD Maintenance and Operations Department has been hard at work! Students will return to a newly paved blacktop on the main playground! Also, the TK and Kindergarten area has been improved with a new concrete slab, replacing the dirt under the lunch tables. Thank you PUSD for these wonderful improvements to our campus!
Let's Make it a GREAT week!
Warmly,
Erica Edmonston

Garden Volunteers Needed
This is a fun, flexible way to get involved. Volunteers will:
- Present short, hands-on garden lessons (about 20 minutes) to students.
- No experience necessary! You don't need to be a garden pro or a certified teacher! We provide the materials.
- The days and times are flexible and will be coordinated individually with you and the teachers.
- All volunteers must be cleared through the school/district system. We'd love to have Level 2 volunteers who are cleared to work independently with groups, but we can happily accommodate Level 1 volunteers as well!
Interested in helping our school garden thrive? Contact Terri at terri.l.lane@gmail.com or call 619-861-6427.

Coyote Gear
The Snow Globe Family, written by Jane O’Connor, illustrated by S.D. Schindler
Though we seldom experience frozen precipitation here in San Diego, nothing evokes cozy winter vibes like the promise of snow! In this charming tale by author Jane O’Connor (creator of the Fancy Nancy series) and illustrator S.D. Schindler, two old-fashioned families experience a snowstorm, each from their own unique perspective.
