Dear Canyon View Elementary Families,

As my first year as your principal comes to a close, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to our wonderful community. This year has been filled with learning, growth, and memorable moments, thanks to the support of our students, parents, teachers, and staff.

To our promoting fifth graders, congratulations! As you move on to middle school, remember to seize each day and "Make it a great day, the choice is yours!" We are excited to see all that you will achieve.

Thank you for an unforgettable year. I wish everyone a restful summer and look forward to another exciting year ahead at Canyon View Elementary.

Let's make it a GREAT week together,

Mrs. Erica Edmonston (she/her/hers)

Principal, Canyon View Elementary School

• Look for information from your child's teacher
• Please send your child with a clearly labeled water bottle
• Sunscreen recommended - Apply at home before school!

We are excited to share that a new District Elementary Visual and Performing Arts K-5 program will launch in the 2024-2025 school year. How will it work? A team of teachers will visit each school site to teach lessons in the classrooms in the five VAPA disciplines: Music, Dance, Visual Arts, Theater, and Media Arts. The lessons and activities will incorporate best instructional practices, will include global languages and culture, and will be developed through collaboration with VAPA experts from the District and community. This innovative approach will enable students at every elementary school to engage with the VAPA standards in creative and expressive ways, making arts learning more relevant, enjoyable, and impactful. PUSD’s new Elementary VAPA program is made possible through Prop 28 funds.

PUSD offers Transitional Kindergarten (TK); TK is designed as the first year of a two-year kindergarten program using a modified kindergarten curriculum that is age and developmentally appropriate. EC Section 48000 [d]. Students who participate in TK will attend school daily for a partial day, including a scheduled lunch and recess. Contact your neighborhood school for specific hours and details.

For the 2024-25 school year, if your child's 5th birthday is between September 2, 2024 and June 2, 2025 (born between September 2, 2019 and June 2, 2020), you are eligible to enroll your child in Transitional Kindergarten!

Beginning with the 2025-26 school year, PUSD will provide optional TK enrollment to all eligible 4 year olds within the Poway Unified School District. We are currently in the fourth year of a phased-in process.

We can’t wait to meet our new students! School starts on August 21, for the 2024-25 school year.

PUSD Enrollment is an on-line process. Packets are completed digitally using any computer, tablet, or smartphone with an internet connection. You can contact your assigned school of residence to schedule an appointment if you do not have access to a device/internet or if you need assistance with completing the online enrollment packet. Please visit the PUSD Enrollment page for directions and access to the online enrollment portal.

There is a new, centralized application management system for families interested in applying for before and/or after school program services through Extended Student Services (ESS). If you are interested in the program for the upcoming 2024-25 school year, please visit the ESS webpage for the latest information on the lottery draw and enrollment timeline. If you need help submitting an interest application or have questions about the ESS program, please send a message to enrollment-ess@powayusd.com.

Please share this flyer with graduating seniors who are Canyon View Alumni!

If your High School Senior is a Canyon View Alum, we would love to have them join us on June 4th at 2 pm for our Senior Clap Out sponsored by the CVES PTO. Parents are also welcome to come and take photos while our K through 5th graders applaud their hard work and accomplishment! Our admin will be out front signing visitors in at 2 pm.

The Canyon View 5th Grade Committee is excited to host the Annual 5th Grade Picnic on Monday, June 3rd. 5th Graders should have brought home a permission slip for parents to sign. This event is free for 5th Graders to attend and will include a light breakfast snack, the highly anticipated kickball game, and lunch provided by RomBomb Burger and Gelu Italian Ice.

Volunteers for the event are needed to ensure a fabulous experience. To volunteer, please visit https://bit.ly/2024picnicvolunteers to sign up. Lunch at the event is available for volunteers but volunteers MUST PRE-ORDER from the volunteer link above and bring payment the day of the event. If you pre-order a meal and end up not attending the picnic, please note we will still unfortunately have to collect the money from you as we are placing the order with our vendors in advance to ensure they stock their supplies accordingly.

Questions? Please contact Rachel at rachel.kasner@gmail.com.

The 5th Grade Committee is looking forward to promoting our Canyon View Class of 2024 on Wednesday, June 5th. The ceremony will begin at 9 am and will be followed by a reception for our 5th Grade Families. To allow our 5th Grade Families to enjoy the event with their promoting 5th Grader, we are seeking the help of volunteers from other grade levels to set up, help run and then clean up after the reception in the lunch area. We are also seeking donations for pastries and other light food items for the reception. This is a great opportunity for families of current 4th graders to see how the Promotion Ceremony is run so that they know what to expect next year. However, volunteers from any other grade level are desperately needed and immensely appreciated. If you have some time to spare or would like to donate a food item, please visit https://bit.ly/3KmaZjK to sign up. The favor will be returned to you when your child is ready to promote from 5th grade! Thank you!

Make school supply shopping easy by ordering a supply kit! Eliminate the hassle of going store to store to find all of the supplies your child will need for next school year.

Too many absences - excused or unexcused - can keep students from succeeding in school and in life. How many are too many? 10% of the school year - that's 18 missed days or 2 days a month - can knock students off track.

If your child can't avoid missing school and will be out for three days or more, call the CVES office to request an OCIS contract.

To report an absence or request an OCIS email or call our attendance hotline:
