Another year is upon us and it is time for the annual Vision and Hearing Screening.
Canyon View will be holding our screenings on Wedensday, September 12 and Thursday , September 13. We would love to have you come and help us with this task. If you are a willing volunteer, please contact Anne Marie in the Health Office at 209-7704. Any amount of time you are able to give will be appreciated.
Also, regarding medication, students are not allowed to carry any medicines to school. Over the counter medications, although they do not require a prescription, are still considered medicine. The health office can only dispense these with a written prescription from the doctor. All medications should be checked in at the health office. We will be happy to help in any way to keep your children safe and happy here at school. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact Anne Marie, the Canyon
"Dear Canyon View student and families, I would like to invite students in our school to the free event, 2012 Ari-zona Insect Festi-val, which will be held this Saturday, Septem-ber 15 from 10 am to 3 pm at the University of Arizona.The event is free (so is the parking) and has a lot of fun and educational in-formation for children and adults. It is a unique opportu-nity to interact with insect sci-entists including faculty (some of which are very renowned), hold insect, and learn more about them and their impor-tance for the Earth and soci-ety. Last year Insect Festival was great! Here is the link to the Insect Festival information page: http://cals.arizona.edu/ento/festival/2012/ and the at-tached PDF files contain more information about the event and the free parking (they are created from the link).

In accordance with these requirements, Essential Pest, vendor for pesticide treatment, will visit our school once month to inspect building exteriors, kitchen areas, and restrooms, and to perform pest control treatments of those areas, as required. Our current pest control program does not include pesticide applications inside classrooms. Such applications are performed only if infestation occurs. Essential Pest will treat Canyon View on the third Tuesday of each month.

• Plant Science Family Night (PSFN) will: Cultivate and sustain a community informed by the content of science, inspired by its wonder, convinced of its value, and prepared to engage with its implications for our future.
• Engage your family in science. Families will enjoy the freedom of learning together. PSFN is organized around plant science concepts,
knowledge and scientific skills. The awe and wonderment of plant sciences is enhanced with an organization that is designed to help students discover answers to these questions: What is a plant? How do we use and enjoy plants? How do plants reproduce and grow? How do plants interact with animals in nature? How do plants adapt to different and changing environments?
• Inspire exploration and learning. PSFN will provide a structured learning environment where families have the opportunity to explore their understanding of plant science concepts. Stations are organized with professional expertise, clear instructions and ample materials to enhance the family's learning experience. Center formats are presented in hands-‐on, demonstration or lecture. Students will be given SCIENCE NOTEBOOKS to record their ideas, observations and what they've learned during the evening.
• Connect with classroom instruction. PSFN provides an environment where students can enhanced their understanding of plant science content and important process skills by applying their knowledge in a "laboratory-‐type" environment. The centers connect to our CFSD and Arizona science curricula and to the 12 Principles of Plant Biology.
• Encourage positive attitudes about science. Plant Science and the scientific thinking process are part of our daily life. Show your children "science" in everyday life. Discover the mysteries of plant DNA and build a model of DNA, learn about farming and the economy in Arizona-‐ cotton and chili peppers, explore the parts of plants and their functions, observe bees -‐ our important pollinators, build your own saguaro cactus and uncover what each part does to help survival, dig into soils from around the world and test the chemistry of soil, compare seeds so small you need a microscope and seeds so weird they do not look like seeds, examine the nutrition labels on food boxes, identify the taxonomy of plant families, understand the interdependence of plants and animals, classify leaves of plants to understand our Tucson trees, observe the tree rings in trees many hundreds of years old, explore the nature of wiggly worms, see how gravity influences plant growth, observe the impact of light/optics making a difference and discover Mastodons are herbivores -‐ are you? Native Plants in Tucson.
So much to do… so little time. Arrive at 5:00, pick up your SCIENCE JOURNALS, plan your schedule on the map……. Get going with SCIENCE! Invite your friends and families. This is a CFSD community event supported through an NSF grant awarded to VV Parent, Dr. Rod Wing, University of Arizona Genomics Institute and Ag Department.
