‘GROWING GREATNESS / GRANDEZA EN CRECIMIENTO'
Each month, Canby School District and the Canby Kiwanis Club will highlight a different school in our district and will recognize a staff member from that school with the CARE Award. Baker Prairie will be highlighted during the month of December. So, if you know of a Baker Prairie staff member who has made a difference in your life, the life of a child you know, or in the community, please consider nominating them for the CARE Award.
HELP NEEDED
We are asking for your help in reminding your students to come to school everyday ready to engage in their learning. This looks like:
Being on time and in their seat at 8:40 each day.
Coming to school everyday with their iPad charged.
Having their binder and supplies…. Paper, pencils, highlighters, etc (you may need to help refill some of these)
We have seen an increase in students coming to school without their iPad charged and with no supplies. This greatly impacts their ability to be a successful student.
Thank you for partnering with us by reminding your student(s) to come to school with a charged iPad and their binder with their needed supplies.
As the temperatures get colder, it’s time to start preparing for winter weather! If the weather is severe enough to cancel school, the first day of inclement weather will be a snow day for all! Any inclement weather day thereafter will be an online learning day.
In the event of an online learning day, Canby High School will begin at 8:40 a.m. and all other schools will begin at 9:30 a.m. Students should watch for Zoom links from their teachers. If students have trouble connecting or need help, they should reach out to their teacher. Canby School District strives to make the most of this valuable educational time, but please know that students will not be penalized if they are unable to connect.
To make sure you’re set to receive information about school delays, or closures, and online learning days, please subscribe to Canby School District on FlashAlert. Now is also a good time to update your text preferences online by listing your phone number.
For more information, please see our inclement weather page.

Students make sure that they have the materials ready for the following week. As students transition to high school it is imperative that they are organized to be able to manage seven classes and be successful. During this meeting we will go over our expectations and how you can help.
