Dear Canyon View Families,

This has been another wonderful week at school! Our students enjoyed a week of spirit days and healthy activities for Red Ribbon Week. Trunk or Treat was an incredible success. The fun and creativity were unmatched! Thank you to those who hosted a trunk and thank you to those who came out to enjoy the festivities.

This week, we have our Halloween Literary Parade. Please click on the link below for more information about this event. Parents are welcome to come watch - Come early so we can sign you in! Students are invited to dress in a costume from a book. We encourage everyone to bring a copy of the book that has inspired their costume to carry during the parade! Violent costumes, toy or replica weapons and full face masks are not allowed.

November 1st, the day after Halloween, is a regular school day for our students. This is historically one of the lowest days of attendance for our district. Absences result in missed opportunity for learning as well as loss of funding for our schools. Please make every effort to bring your child to school on Friday, November 1st!

Let's Make it a GREAT WEEK!

Erica Edmonston

• Nimesh Shah: I am Nimesh, parent of Aaryan Shah. I have been part of Canyon view since 4 years, and now I am excited to take this opportunity to be part of CVES School Site Council. Thank you.
• Melody Downey: Hi, I'm Melody Downey and I have two daughters attending Canyon View. One in Kindergarten and the other in fourth grade. I would love to be involved in the SSC and continue to help make Canyon View such a fantastic school, as well as, have the ability to make improvements. I'm currently part of Canyon Views PTO and Foundation, which I think gives me great insight on things needed for the school.

The SSC at Canyon View is a ten-member council responsible for overseeing Canyon View’s Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) and Comprehensive Site Safety Plan. SSC members are involved in the development of the school’s improvement plan, oversight of the plan’s implementation, and assessment of its impact on students. The SSC is comprised of five staff members and five community members, elected by peers, to serve a two-year term. Members are expected to attend all meetings. Our first zoom meeting for this school year will be scheduled in November.

Next week, we’ll learn the results of the November election. We hope that these picture books will educate and inspire discussions about the importance of voting and active participation in the American democratic process.

Pudding the snail and his friends can’t seem to agree on anything. Whatever Jitterbug the chipmunk wants, Geezer the goose does not. Whatever Toast the butterfly wants, Duffles and Nudge the otters are absolutely against. And if somehow Toast and Duffles and Jitterbug and Nudge all agree on something, then Geezer is not having it. So when Toast suggests they need a leader, the friends try to figure out the best way to pick someone to be in charge. Should that someone be the fastest? The fluffiest? The squishiest? Or can Pudding show his friends that there just might be a way where everyone gets a say?

In this charming picture book, Jill Twiss and EG Keller cleverly underscore the importance of speaking up and using your voice.

Imagine starring in commercials and traveling in your own campaign bus! Or seeing your face on bumper stickers and T-shirts! If you ran for president, you would get to do these and other fun things, but you would also have to do a lot of hard work. You would study the nation's problems, tell the American people about your platform, select a running mate, and debate your opponents on live television. Finally, in November, Election Day would arrive. You would keep your fingers crossed and wait for the results―will you be the next president of the United States? This entertaining yet informative book by author Catherine Stier and illustrator Lynne Avril will help kids learn about the presidential election.

Learn all about the history of voting rights in the United States—from our nation’s founding to the present day—in this powerful picture book from the New York Times bestselling author of The Pout-Pout Fish. The founders of the United States declared that consent of the governed was a key part of their plan for the new nation. But for many years, only white men of means were allowed to vote. This unflinching and inspiring history of voting rights looks back at the activists who answered equality’s call, working tirelessly to secure the right for all to vote, and it also looks forward to the future and the work that still needs to be done.

Please read through the information below about Parking. Parking in our school lot is extremely limited and we need everyone's help to ensure a safe and efficient drop-off and pick-up. Please refrain from parking in the lot unless you are picking up a PreK, TK or Kindergarten student, or you have business in the front office. Instead, use our supervised drop-off/pick-up curb to the west of the front office.

• Attention TK/K Families: You are not required to park and walk students to the gate for drop-off. Use our drive-through drop-off instead. We have supervision from the curb to the blacktop from 8:20 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. Please continue to park and pick-up from the gate at dismissal.
• Attention Grade 1-5 Families: Do not park in the lot for drop-off or pick-up. Instead, use the supervised drive-through pick-up curb west of the office. This allows sufficient parking for our staff, and TK/Kindergarten families.
• The Green Cone Zone: The Green Cone Zone is reserved for students in Ms. Dobson, Ms. Marty, Ms. Morrison or Ms. Ruble's students who need extra assistance loading and unloading. Please keep these areas clear so that our special needs families have a safe place to load and unload their children.
• Curbside Drop-off/Pick-Up: Use our designated drop-off/pick-up area to the west of the office only. Do not ask your child to meet you anywhere else in the lot. While this might seem faster for you, it slows down our system for everyone and creates a safety hazard.
