FORESCASTING CLASS OF 2027
Class of 2027, it is time to begin the forecasting process! Forecasting is where students choose their classes for the next year. Please see these videos to explain the forecasting process.
Right after spring break, students will get forecasting information in Advisory. Please see below for the videos that will be shared. Students will fill out their forecasting selections in Studentvue and these videos will walk them through the process.

BAKER PRAIRIE CARE TEAM
One of our goals as a district is to provide equitable education for all our students and to "eliminate barriers, giving students what they need to succeed." At Baker Prairie, one of the steps we have taken to realize this goal is to assemble our BPMS Care Team. This group of parents, guardians, family members, staff, and other community members works together to meet the needs of Baker Prairie students as they arise throughout the school year.
How does it work? Our student interventionist, Brett Curtis, periodically sends out requests to the Care Team for items such as snacks, clothing, bedding, and school supplies. Team members reply if they are able to provide a new or gently used item to meet this request. Last year over 50 students benefited from the Care Team's support and generosity. If you are interested in joining, please contact Brett Curtis at brett.curtis@canby.k12.or.us.
Health Curriculum Adoption Parent Input Opportunity
The Canby School District will host a Zoom meeting on Wednesday, April 19 from 6-7 p.m. in English and 7-8 p.m. in Spanish. The goal is to have 12-15 parents answer some questions and provide input about health education and instruction in Canby. We will use this information to support our planning for our Health Curriculum adoption and Parent Open House on April 26. If you are interested, please complete this Google Form. If we have great interest, we will choose participants by lottery to create a small enough group for our input session.
Library Book Review
The Canby School District continues to offer opportunities for community members to review library books that are up for consideration to be added into circulation. Books will be displayed on Monday, April 10 from 4:30-5:30 p.m. in the Ackerman Library. To find a list of the titles for review and our review template, you can visit our CSD library page.
Water Testing
Canby School District has completed its first cycle of lead and copper water testing, and all fixtures came in under the state requirement of 15 parts per million. We collected samples from Ackerman, the district office and maintenance shop, Baker Prairie Middle School, and Canby High School. All fixtures were tested as long as a student could cup their hands under it to collect water.
Those interested can view the reports here: HASS Healthy and Safe School Reports.
Testing will take place in the 2023-2024 year for the remaining schools: Carus, Eccles, Knight, Lee, Ninety-One, and Trost.
For questions, please reach out to Shawna Grant, District Operation Specialists with Facilities, at sgrant@canby.k12.or.us or 503-266-0018 xt. 3920.
