Dear Canyon View Families,

Thank you for welcoming our wonderful guest principal, Mr. Doug Johnson, who is on site until Principal Edmonston's expected return on September 12th. Mrs. Edmonston's daughter's surgery was successful. and she is braving the road to recovery. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to contact the Canyon View front office if you are in need of administrative support from Mr. Johnson or myself.

Thank you for following the parking lot safety rules, and thank you for displaying your sign on your passenger side dashboard during pick-up. It has been a huge help!

Let's Make it another GREAT WEEK!

• School Breakfast and Lunch are great ways to help students eat healthy. (Just a reminder that if your children would like to enjoy school breakfast, please drop them off at 8:20 when the gates open so that they have time to eat. The breakfast line closes at 8:30.)

• We strongly discourage families from sending in food treats for birthdays. We have a number of students with severe allergies and other dietary restrictions. Please check with the teacher for individual class protocols before sending in treats. If you want to celebrate a birthday, please consider ways other than food - like donating a book or ball - for the classroom.

• Classroom parties will follow nutritional guidelines from the District.

PUSD campuses will remain ‘closed campuses’ to ensure safety of our students and staff. On the first day of school only, parents/guardians will be able to walk their child(ren) to class or the field. Beginning August 22, all children will be dropped off and picked up at the gate at all campuses.

• Parking in our lot? Cross ONLY at the Cross-Walk, located near the Flag Pole in the center of the lot.
• The GREEN CONE ZONE is the assisted loading/unloading area for our Special Needs students ONLY. If your child requires curb-side assistance from our staff, please make arrangements with their Teacher so staff can meet you there. Unless you have received special authorization to use the GREEN CONE ZONE, please refrain from parking or loading/unloading in this area.

The following books are curated especially for our Coyote Families by our Library and Media Technician, Alice Burge. The links take you to YouTube read-aloud videos, so be aware that ads may pop-up!

The first few weeks of school are an exciting time for kids to connect with friends, both old and new! These funny friendship stories are great family conversation starters for sharing what it means to be a good, helpful and patient friend.

Ricky, the Rock that Couldn’t Roll, is the first book in a delightful series by Jay Miletsky, illustrated by Erin Wozniak. From zippy little pebbles to big strong boulders, the rock friends get together to play and roll around their favorite hill, only to find that one of their friends, Ricky, can't roll with them. Unlike all of the other rocks, who are all round, Ricky can't roll because he's flat on one side.

Determined not to leave their friend behind, the rocks set out to help Ricky roll -- one way or another! This sweet, imaginative picture book, written in verse, brings a fresh set of characters to life in a story that celebrates inclusion, perseverance and the power of true friendship.

This sweet story from Tammi Sauer and Alison Friend will warm the hearts of young readers. Beaver is good at making just about everything...but not friends. One winter day, Beaver sees some snowflakes in the sky and gets a great idea: he’ll make a friend. Yes! A snowman will be a great friend!

Raccoon passes by as Beaver sets to work and offers a helping hand. The two work side by side to give their snowman everything a friend needs. But when the snowman proves to be a little cold, Beaver discovers that he may have unknowingly “made” another buddy instead.

What’s a little piece of bread to do when he’s feeling lonely? Find a friend, of course! And that’s exactly what Peanut Butter tries to do. But sometimes friends are hard to come by, especially when Hamburger has to walk his (hot) dogs, Cupcake is too busy building castles in her sprinkle box, and Egg laughs so hard he starts to crack up! Does Peanut Butter have a soulmate?

Young readers will know the answer long before Peanut Butter does and laugh along with each mismatched pairing in this funny and poignant book by author and photographer Terry Border.
