Chess has been the ultimate game of strategy for generations. It is a fun and entertaining way to challenge the mind, chess is one of the most popular games in the world. Mr. Wilson is starting a Chess Club at Baker Prairie Middle School and he wants you to join.

We will meet Monday and Thursday from 2:45-4:15 and will start on Monday, January 31. Chess is fun and will teach you great life skills like increasing concentration, pattern recognition, attention span, time management, and planning ahead. Chess Club will be for students who want to have fun and learn a new game and for students who like to be competitive and challenge wits against an opponent. Join now!

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.
