A+ SCHOOL DRIVEN BY CHILDRENS NEEDS
Principals Message:
Dear Canyon View Families,

The rst three weeks of school are in the books and the students and staff at Canyon View Elementary are starting to settle into our routines. I want to thank all of our families who attended our Curriculum Nights this week, and we hope the evenings were informative and you were able to learn about your childs day here at school. As mentioned during our Curriculum Nights, we will continue to work hard to keep the lines of communication open with our families. We fully understand how important it is to build and maintain a strong school-home partnership. If you ever have any questions regarding your child progress or performance, please do not hesitate to contact us. This year, we will continue to research and implement new and exciting educational programs that will enhance the learning experience for our students. These programs will help our children develop and strengthen their self-directed and critical thinking skills. As these opportunities come up, I encourage each and every one of our families to nd a way to get involved. Whether you volunteer your ideas, or even a few hours a month, your participation will make a difference! Please stay tuned over the next few weeks as begin to put these new programs in place. Have a fun and safe Labor Day weekend! Sincerely, Rob Henikman Principal
