Carus School News
Dear Carus Families,
I hope this email finds you well… and warm! I’ve missed seeing the students and staff; I’m looking forward to being back in the building with the smiles and laughter that learning at Carus produces.
As you are aware, we recently experienced some inclement weather days. We understand that this may have caused disruptions to your routines, and we appreciate your understanding and flexibility during these unforeseen circumstances.
I would like to express our sincere gratitude for those who attended our Literacy, ELD, and AVID Career and College readiness night last week. Our aim in organizing this event was to provide you with valuable information, resources, and opportunities for your child as they move through the Canby School District. We also hope you gained insights into various educational pathways and career options by interacting with the volunteers who showed up to share their time and expertise. They made this event informative and inspiring, their contributions were invaluable in creating a meaningful learning experience for all attendees.
Warm Regards,
Nicole Goff
Carus Principal
