Erin's Law Safety Lessons will begin at the end of this month. The attached letter with specific details will be coming home in your student's backpack. If you still have questions after reading the letter, please contact our School Councelor, Sarah Fitts at sarah.fitts@canby.k12.or.us.
Thank you for supporting your child’s participation in the upcoming Oregon Statewide Assessments. Assessment is an important part of each student’s academic experience. Beginning in kindergarten and through grade 12, learners in the Canby School District experience a variety of formative, interim, and summative assessments. Oregon Statewide Assessments are one example of a summative assessment administered in grades 3 through 8, and grade 11. Students in these grade levels are required to participate in English Language Arts and Math assessments annually. In grades 5 and 8, students also participate in Science.
Canby School District, like all districts in Oregon, is striving for 95% or greater student participation. This goal is essential for understanding the depth and breadth of learning for student groups across our schools, and for evaluating programs and resources. Oregon Summative Assessment data provides information to the Canby community and to district teams about our successes or strengths and areas for improvement.
We will be communicating additional information about Oregon Statewide Assessment dates for your students’ grade level and ways to support your student’s success. You can find more information on our district State Assessment webpage. Please reach out to your school principal or classroom teacher if you have further questions. Canby School District appreciates your partnership.
Dear Eccles families,
As our first semester wraps up on January 26th, it is time to round up those overdue and missing library books. Weekly notices are being sent via email.
Any books showing overdue as of December 15th that are still missing at the end of the semester (January 26th) will be considered lost and a replacement book fee will be charged to your student's account. You will need to pay the fee to clear your student's account. If you find the book later, you can receive a refund.
If a student has 3 lost books on their account, they may not check out any more library books. A student can resume checking out books when the replacement fee is paid or when they return the books.
Thank you for your support of the Eccles Library and for helping us round up the books.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Adams
