 Principal’s Message: Dear Canyon View Families, I hope that you all had a memorable winter break and a happy New Y ear! Seeing how excited our children were to be back at school on Monday was a great experience for the staf , and the sounds of children’s voices and laughter once again ll our hallways and classrooms. In light of last month’s tragic events at Sandy Hook Elementary, school districts around the country have been forced to examine their security measures and procedures to ensure that student safety remains a top priority. CFSD and Canyon View are no exception. Over the last few weeks, I have met with our sta f and district leaders to discuss several security-related topics. As a result of these meetings, we have made some adjustments to our school-wide emergency procedures and our daily routines.  Since the beginning of the school year, we have been working closely with the Pima County Sheri f 's Department on rening our existing emergency plan. We have practiced and ne-tuned our procedures over t he past few months and we will be re-evaluating the implementation of our plan in the coming weeks. However, lockdowns and safety procedures are only part of the equation, and we are committed to ensuring that our campus is a safe place for children, staf members and parents. Additionally, we also need parents and the public to support our ef orts to keep our campus safe by following our current guidelines and policies that are in place. Please always make sure that when you arrive on campus that you rst sign-in at the oce before heading to your destination. It’s important to have your visitor badge v isible for others to see when you are on campus for any reason. Staf members know to look for CFSD ID badges or visi- tor badges on any adult on campus, and to approach those without proper identication. We appreciate your ef- forts to help ensure student safety. During the month of December, several classrooms participated in our annual Holiday Project led by our coun- selor, Mrs. Stevens. Through the generosity of our Canyon View community we were able to help v e families in need. This seless act of giving made a signicant imp act on these families, and I thank each and every one of you who contributed to this project. As we begin planning for the next school year, we are exploring ways to con- sistently help other families in need throughout the year. Thank you for your generosity, and please stay tuned f or ways you can help. On January 14 th at 2 p.m. Canyon View will be hosting our second open house for prospective Open Enrollment families. If you know of any families who are interested in exploring what Canyon View has to o f er their children, please pass t his important information along to them. Open Enrollment applicat ions are availab le online at HY- PERLINK "http://www.cfsd16.org " www.cfsd16.org. As a reminder, current Open Enrollment families must reap ply each year between December 1 st and the end of February. Finally, January 18 th marks the beginning of our annual school-wide readathon.

Principal’s Message:Dear Canyon View Families,

I hope that you all had a memorable winter break and a happy New Year! Seeing how excited our children were tobe back at school on Monday was a great experience for the staf , and the sounds of children’s voices and laughteronce again fill our hallways and classrooms.

In light of last month’s tragic events at Sandy Hook Elementary, school districts around the country have beenforced to examine their security measures and procedures to ensure that student safety remains a top priority.CFSD and Canyon View are no exception. Over the last few weeks, I have met with our staf and district leaders todiscuss several security-related topics. As a result of these meetings, we have made some adjustments to ourschool-wide emergency procedures and our daily routines. 

Since the beginning of the school year, we have been working closely with the Pima County Sherif 's Departmenton refining our existing emergency plan. We have practiced and fine-tuned our procedures over the past fewmonths and we will be re-evaluating the implementation of our plan in the coming weeks. However, lockdownsand safety procedures are only part of the equation, and we are committed to ensuring that our campus is a safeplace for children, staf members and parents.

Additionally, we also need parents and the public to support our ef orts to keep our campus safe by following ourcurrent guidelines and policies that are in place. Please always make sure that when you arrive on campus thatyou first sign-in at the oce before heading to your destination. It’s important to have your visitor badge visiblefor others to see when you are on campus for any reason. Staf members know to look for CFSD ID badges or visi-tor badges on any adult on campus, and to approach those without proper identification. We appreciate your ef-forts to help ensure student safety.

During the month of December, several classrooms participated in our annual Holiday Project led by our coun-selor, Mrs. Stevens. Through the generosity of our Canyon View community we were able to help five families inneed. This selfless act of giving made a significant impact on these families, and I thank each and every one of you who contributed to this project. As we begin planning for the next school year, we are exploring ways to con-sistently help other families in need throughout the year. Thank you for your generosity, and please stay tuned forways you can help.

On January 14th at 2 p.m. Canyon View will be hosting our second open house for prospective Open Enrollmentfamilies. If you know of any families who are interested in exploring what Canyon View has to of er their children,

please pass this important information along to them. Open Enrollment applications are available online at HY-PERLINK "http://www.cfsd16.org" www.cfsd16.org. As a reminder, current Open Enrollment families must reapplyeach year between December 1st and the end of February.

Finally, January 18th marks the beginning of our annual school-wide readathon. This school-wide event promotesand strengthens students’ love for reading.

Connor C., Robby P.

Student Feature: Canyon View student, Eli C., is a caring 4th grader who donated his cut hair over winter 

break to a charity called Locks Of Love. This student showed his character by being generous and caring.

He really wanted to help a good cause, so he waited patiently until his hair grew 10 whole inches!

The question is:

How are you going to make a difference?

Photo credit: Leigh Burkey

Student Interview by Natalie M. and Jason K.

Q: Why did you do this?

Eli: I got the idea from my friend Fletcher whose father died from cancer.

Q: Did people treat you differently with long hair? If so, how?

Eli: Yes. Some people would tease me, but most people were nice.

Q: How did you feel when your hair was getting cut off?

I felt good to do this, but I liked running with long hair. It felt cool. !

  A note from the Health OfficeGood Health Habits Can Help Stop Germs

The single best way to prevent seasonal flu is to

get vaccinated each year, but good health habits

like covering your cough and washing your hands

often can help stop the spread of germs and pre-vent respiratory illnesses like the flu. There also

are flu antiviral drugs that can be used to treat and

prevent the flu.Germs are often spread when aperson touches something that is contami-nated with germs and then touches his or hereyes, nose, or mouth.

Practice other good health habits.

Get plenty of sleep, be physically active,manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids,and eat nutritious food.http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/habits.h

Hello great CV Parents, The HealthOffice is in great need for Water andSaltines and cough drops. Also in

need of paper towels. Thank you forall you do for us here at CV.
