This week we let our students know that we notice… we notice when they say thank you to their teachers as they are leaving class. We notice when they say thank you as we are placing clothes on their tables at lunch or dismissing them. We shared that these two simple words have the power to make a HUGE difference and to lift others up.

As we prepare for winter break, I would like to take a moment to thank you for sharing the gift of your child(ren) with us everyday. It is a gift that we cherish!

I wish each of you and your families a happy and healthy holiday season! I hope that you will find time to relax and enjoy special times with one another. I hope everyone in our Canby community has a season filled with peace and joy!

As the temperatures continue getting colder, it’s time to start preparing for winter weather and the snow bus routes, school delays, or closures that can come along with it.

When inclement weather strikes, the district will make decisions about school as early as possible -- sometimes even the night before, but our goal is by no later than about 5:30 a.m. on the day of the weather event. The message will go out via FlashAlert and will then be reported on most news websites and TV stations.

To make sure you’re set to receive the information, again, 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.
