The Playground is OPEN!!!
Our beautiful, new playground is now open for recess! We enjoyed a ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday and then had a chance to play and play and play! Thank you to our Canby Community voters for passing a bond so that we can enjoy a safe and fun playground for everyone to enjoy. This is a tremendous experience that our children will remember well into adulthood.
Join Us
While parent volunteering continues to be on hold until further notice, we do have employment opportunities in our schools for part-time positions like instructional assistants, nutrition services, custodians and more. We are also seeking on-call substitutes for those positions, which would provide even greater flexibility. English and Spanish speakers are welcome to apply. Visit our employment website to view all current opportunities.
General COVID-19 Protocol Updates
Thank you all for the patience and determination it takes as we work through the protocols required to be able to have students in school five days a week, all day! For the time being, we are asked by OHA and ODE to implement the following:
- Utilize outdoor eating options (breakfast and lunch outside)
- Encourage students to wear masks outside or stay 6ft apart
- Remain 3ft apart in classrooms
- Utilize outdoor spaces as best as possible
We encourage students to bring layers of clothing as the weather begins to change.
