THANK YOU TO THE CITY OF IRVINE FOR ADDING A CROSSWALK!
YOUR CHILDREN ARE WATCHING!
Parents, please take the time to walk to either of the designated crosswalks to cross the street.
This is essential for student safety, and by modeling safe choices,
you are teaching your children how to be safe as well.
Drivers, please make sure to drive slowly and follow all traffic laws.
Safety Reminders for all Families...
Safety is our number one priority. To ensure the safety of all of our children, please remember...
we do not allow food items to be distributed for birthdays. Dietary restrictions, food allergies, and the varied nutritional preferences of our parent population require considerable and deliberate coordination of any event involving food, and we cannot facilitate such oversight for every student's birthday. We would like to suggest, in lieu of individual treats, that you consider the donation of a Birthday Book to our library. A special dedication card will be placed in the book and the book will be shared with your student's class. After that, the book will be placed in the school library as a continuing memory of your child's special day.

AmazonSmile is a great way to donate to Canyon View doing what you already do online. When you open in Amazon Smile (even Prime accounts) Amazon gives 0.5% of your purchase to our Shooting Stars! (For example: If you are the type of family that buys everything on Amazon and spends $5,000 per year, then $250 goes to Canyon View when you shop thru this absolutely free program!) Go to your Amazon Account and search AmazonSmile to add “5386 Canyon View Elementary School”.
