Help us, help you! Our new lost & found closet has grown, and we need your help reuniting jackets and sweaters with children. Watch the video clip of our inventory with your child, and have them visit the office during their first recess to look for anything you think may belong to them. Only a few days left before we donate left items.

Helpful tip—If possible, use a sharpie to mark the inside tag of regularly worn items so that we can easily identify who they belong to and return them as soon as we find them.

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.

We are excited to announce that the SafeOregon app will be available on all student iPads starting this week.

SafeOregon is a 24-hour anonymous tip-line individuals can use if they see or hear about instances of bullying, violence, threats, drug use, suicidal thoughts and more. The goal is to keep students safe by preventing threats from coming to fruition.

There are a number of ways to report, including:

• Texting or calling 844-4-SAFE-OR (844-472-3367)

• Emailing tip@safeoregon.com

• Online at safeoregon.com

• Via the SafeOregon app (available on all student iPads this week)

Please help us keep Canby’s kids safe by utilizing this program.
