Carus School News
Hello Carus community,
Thanks to all our students, staff, and families for helping make the transition to optional face coverings as smooth as possible this week! Whether your student will continue wearing a mask or not, please be sure to remind them of what you've decided on as a family, as teachers are unable to track and "enforce" a particular request.
Though COVID-19 hasn't disappeared, it certainly seems that we're entering a new phase of near-normalcy. It's hard to believe that almost exactly two years ago our students left the school building and didn't return for 10 months. On behalf of the entire Carus staff, I want to thank all our families for their continued collaboration and dedication as we navigated this experience together and responded as a Carus community.
Enjoy the rest of your week — and have a great spring conference!

Spring After School Program
Kinder Kick-off!
If you have a student who will be five years old by Sept. 1, then get ready for our Kinder Kick-offs! These events will be held in-person at each of our elementary schools and will help incoming students imagine a day in the life of a kindergartner. They’ll have a chance to tour the school, meet the teachers and principal, and even receive a welcome gift bag.
If you think a Spanish and English K-12 educational program might be right for your student, then please join the first kick-off on April 5 from 6-7 p.m. at Trost Elementary, Canby’s dual language immersion magnet school.
Otherwise check out your neighborhood school on April 12 from 6-7 p.m. If you need help determining which school your child should attend, use the Clackamas County Address Checker. Families are welcome to enroll their students ahead of time as registration is open online now.
