Dear Coyote Families,

We are looking forward to another wonderful week of school! Here is a sneak peak at what we have planned...

It's Start With Hello Week! That means we will be working on our mission to ensure that every student feels a sense of connection and belonging. Our Counselor, Jill Cedillo has activities planned throughout the week to help students connect with one another - scroll down for more information. Also this week, we will have our first Character Counts Assembly featuring a presentation from our Westview Ambassadors!

Let's Make it a GREAT week!

Warmly,

Erica Edmonston

Our district’s Caring Connections Parent Education website has new and exciting courses being offered. Check the website at the beginning of each term for the new courses offered to parents, families, and our school community; scholarship opportunities may be available. Click HERE to view the PUSD CCC Parent Education Fall Courses.

Based on feedback from families and staff, the district is working on improvements to make the volunteer process more efficient and user-friendly.

While our new system is being finalized, we are still welcoming volunteers. For now, anyone interested in helping on campus can do so as a visitor until our updated process launches, tentatively scheduled for mid-September.

We encourage you to take this time to complete your TB assessment so you’ll be ready when the updated system is in place. We will share more details as we get closer to launch. You can learn more about this process by visiting our website.

Thank you for your ongoing support. Our volunteers truly make a difference in the lives of our students.

We are celebrating #StartWithHelloWeek from September 2 through 5 to build a culture of inclusivity and empathy! The goal of this program is to teach students to build connections, end loneliness, and help each other by fostering an environment filled with kindness and belonging. Kids are invited to participate in theme day activities during lunch all week long with our Coynselor Mrs. Cedillo (formerly Ms. Gamelson).

Introducing our Team CV Board Members! Team CV consists of the Canyon View Foundation and PTO. Team CV is 100% volunteer run and provides all of our social and fundraising events. What's the difference between the Foundation and the PTO? The Canyon View Elementary Foundation is dedicated to fundraising for Canyon View to provide our children with the best education possible. The Foundation organizes the school's fundraisers such as Red Envelope, Gift Cards, Jog-A-Thon, Coyote Gear, Silent Auction, and E-Waste Recycling. These fundraisers support programs such as Science, Music, Art, PE, IMPACT Reading, STEAM Enhancements, Technology & Software Licensing, Health, and Safety which are not currently funded by state or federal budgets. The Canyon View PTO strives to positively impact the lives of children and families through fun family events, like the Pancake Breakfast, Ice Cream Social, Family Game Nights, Spring Dance and Coyote Round-Up, as well as provide educationally enriching programs like Red Ribbon Week and the Science Fair which are funded by PTO Membership Dues and Sponsorships. Because both groups share the ultimate goal to provide a memorable and enriching experience for our children, the two organizations work hand in hand to ensure we are meeting the needs of our school community. These board members ensure all of the gears are turning behind the scenes, but we know we could not do this without your support. We'd love for you to stop us when you see us and introduce yourselves!

• SO MUCH MORE!

• Please do not park along Adolphia Street between Black Mountain and the school entrance. Parking in that location pushes out the line of stopped cars waiting to get into the school, and blocks the only traffic lane, which then causes the stopped cars to back up all the way out onto Black Mountain Road. It is very dangerous!
• Park in marked spaces only: No curb parking along the perimeter of the lot, No parking in Reserved spaces, No parking in the BUS ONLY area.
• If you are driving to pick-up, use our pick-up lane. Meeting up in alternate areas in or around the parking lot is a safety hazard and is not permitted.

Green Cone Zone:

The Green Cone Zone is located on the east side of the parking lot. This area is reserved for loading/unloading of students in our preschool and Special Day Classes who require additional assistance ONLY (Ms. Marty, Ms. Morrison, Mrs. Ruble, and Ms. Dobson's classes). This is not a parking area for TK.
