Principal's Message

Good afternoon Canby High School Students and Families!

I hope everyone had a relaxing spring break and is ready to finish the year strong. Please remind students how important it is to be engaged in their schooling during these next few months. Being engaged means being here and being prepared to learn.

Spring is always a busy time of year as we enjoy spring sports as well as end of the year festivities and plan for the year to come. It was wonderful to see so many Incoming Freshmen students and their families this past week at their forecasting night. Counselors and administrators will be visiting BPMS and 91 next week to finish up that process so we can begin planning our master schedule for next year. Please see the appropriate section below for more information.

Over spring break, our band students had the opportunity to perform at Disneyland. Over a hundred students traveled to Southern California, enjoyed the park, and dazzled the crowd with their musical skills. Also, during the break, construction was in full swing as they took advantage of the empty building to advance much of the bond work, including replacing HVAC systems. We are continually grateful for the community support of the 2020 Bond and are looking forward to the opening of the new wing next fall.

Finally, we will be practicing a Lockdown Drill tomorrow morning, April 7th. It is a required drill, and student safety is our top priority. We understand that this practice could be triggering for some students. If your student needs any extra support that day, please encourage them to check-in with their School Counselor.

Have an amazing week!

Best,

Cari Sloan

Canby High School Principal

Health Curriculum Adoption Parent Input Opportunity

The Canby School District will host a Zoom meeting on Wednesday, April 19 from 6-7 p.m. in English and 7-8 p.m. in Spanish. The goal is to have 12-15 parents answer some questions and provide input about health education and instruction in Canby. We will use this information to support our planning for our Health Curriculum adoption and Parent Open House on April 26. If you are interested, please complete this Google Form. If we have great interest, we will choose participants by lottery to create a small enough group for our input session.

Water Testing

Canby School District has completed its first cycle of lead and copper water testing, and all fixtures came in under the state requirement of 15 parts per million. We collected samples from Ackerman, the district office and maintenance shop, Baker Prairie Middle School, and Canby High School. All fixtures were tested as long as a student could cup their hands under it to collect water.

Those interested can view the reports here: HASS Healthy and Safe School Reports.

Testing will take place in the 2023-2024 year for the remaining schools: Carus, Eccles, Knight, Lee, Ninety-One, and Trost.

For questions, please reach out to Shawna Grant, District Operation Specialists with Facilities, at sgrant@canby.k12.or.us or 503-266-0018 xt. 3920.

Library Book Review

The Canby School District continues to offer opportunities for community members to review library books that are up for consideration to be added into circulation. Books will be displayed on Monday, April 10 from 4:30-5:30 p.m. in the Ackerman Library. To find a list of the titles for review and our review template, you can visit our CSD library page.

Thank you for being patient with our construction out on the stadium. We’re currently undergoing seismic upgrades as part of the 2020 Bond and the work has taken longer than expected. This has interrupted both lacrosse and track, and we appreciate your understanding as we continue the work.

Attendance at CHS

To ensure the accuracy and efficiency of our attendance process, please remember the following guidelines:

If your student needs to leave class for an appointment or because they are sick, inform the attendance office 30 MINUTES PRIOR to leave time. This will help us ensure that your student receives a note to leave class in a timely manner. Students will not be excused without a note.
Pre-Excused Absence: For any anticipated absence that will be more than three days, students are expected to pick up a Pre-Excused Absence Form from Jessie Munoz at the Attendance Office.
To report an absence, call Jessie Munoz at our attendance line at 503-263-7210 or email chs-attendance@canby.k12.or.us.
Students have 48 hours to have unexcused absences excused. Students may lose the opportunity to make up work for credit due to unexcused absences. Please report an absence as soon as possible.

Remember that attendance matters and students who attend class regularly are more likely to stay on track, graduate on time, learn deeply, and get the most from their high school experience.

Information for Seniors

The Senior Schedule is linked on the “Graduation Information” page. Please check back often for updates. Again, seniors need to watch their emails for graduation information and updates. If you have additional questions not found in the information pages, please contact Jamie Netter @ jamie.netter@canby.k12.or.us or 503.263.7200 Ext 5302.
